Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect after off-road use: Check engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank plates for dents, bends, or heavy scrapes.
-
Re-torque hardware: Tighten all mounting bolts every 3–6 months or after impacts to ensure secure fitment.
-
Clean routinely: Remove mud, sand, and road salt to protect aluminum surfaces and prevent debris buildup.
-
Check drivetrain components: While plates are off, inspect engine, transmission, and fuel system components for wear or leaks.
-
Maintain finish: Touch up scratches to prevent oxidation and extend skid plate lifespan.
-
Verify clearance: Ensure no debris is trapped between plates and underbody to avoid vibration or heat retention.
