Do I need skid plates for off-roading?
If you drive on trails, gravel roads, or rough terrain, skid plates protect your oil pan, transmission, and transfer case from rock damage. Our shop at 9261 Bally Ct, Rancho Cucamonga is about 15 miles from Colton — most customers are in and out the same day.
What's the difference between steel and aluminum armor?
Steel is heavier but stronger and cheaper. Aluminum is lighter but more expensive. For serious off-roading, we typically recommend steel.
Can you install rock sliders on any truck?
We install rock sliders on most trucks and Jeeps. Custom fabrication is available for vehicles without off-the-shelf options.
