I was cleaning mud from under the vehicle with my pressure washer. Is there an OEM transmission skid plate? I don't see one but I thought the vehicle has one protecting the center.

I only see this.

No stock plate over that area. That is normal.

 

Definitely missing ... a mechanic must have left it in their toolbox

 

Trying to find a good underbody pic. I've seen one but can't remember where. Looks like former owner put on the full length 4R gas tank skid plate.


This is stock 10-20 gas tank skid minus the '20 Luxury w/off-road package.

 

I'm confused, so there should be a cover? I have 5 days left on my aftermarket warranty that came with the vehicle and can most likely get them to cover the part.

 

There are two factory skids. The one your drop for the oil filter and second one has the small door in it to access oil drain on the pan. The transmission pan and transfer case are exposed.

 

Looks like you're missing the rear most skid. The rear most factory skid should have a plastic kicker attached to it that covers the front part of the tranny... gas tank skid looks OEM. Check my ownership thread for the difference

 

Couple more pics

 

I'm seeing stock skids on the front there with nothing missing. Only anomaly I see is that gas tank skid which for US models ...full length didn't come stock.

 

Nothing looks missing from front oem skid package... if you have the full length gas tank skid (cant tell) that's a good thing imo.

 

Ok, interesting. I'm need to find a shop where I can get her up on lift and down thorough cleaning before I apply a protective coating. I want to try to keep the rust to a minimum. Got some good advice on the GXOR Facebook group.

 

nuclearn8... you are right.. it looked full length to me but it is just the partial. For some reason it looked full length to me

 

Another pic


I was looking at these too:

You might want to check with RCI to see how well fit will be with stock skids or ask on GXOR as well since there are many RCI owners on there as well.

My Budbuilt front skid actually co-existed with the factory 2nd but left some gaps. I only left on that way for a short period until I was able to install the rest of the skids.

 

I've been curious about that little plastic "kicker" skid off the back of the oil pan skid. Mine is cracked slightly and bent. Is it worth even keeping on there? Doesn't seem to be protecting much. If I did need to replace, I'm having a tough time tracking down a part number as well. What are y'alls thoughts?
