Skid plates – helping off-road vehicles stay off road for longer

Fitting your vehicle with skid plates will protect the underside of your vehicle, particularly the key components, from getting damaged.

If you enjoy testing your 4x4 with challenging, rough terrain then you may find it starts to take a beating. Bouncing over uneven, jagged surfaces will not be doing your vehicle any good... unless you fit it with a skid plate.

Auto Styling Stocks skid plates for a range of vehicles. Skid plates are made from either aluminium or steel, attaching to the underneath of the vehicle to protect its key components.

Skid plates are available for components such as transmission case, transfer box, fuel tank and engine bay.

Skid plates aren’t even difficult to fit. Here’s a video we were sent of two guys fixing a skid plate to a Nissan Pathfinder.

Auto Styling also stocks skid plates for vans. Skid plates are not just for true off-roaders any longer. You may wonder why you would need one; you are never going to take your van off road. Well, skid plates are ideal from protecting the underside of your van from stones and debris or even speed bumps.
