Isn't RROR the company that requires you to take every skid off even if you just need to get one off? F that! I want quick and easy.
Help with skid plates
- Thread starter noroad
- Start date
The plates all come off individually, that's not a problem. The problem some folks have had is the Xfer case skid bending up at the rear.. The latest version I have has been modded a bit from what I have seen in photos.. I have been bottomed out on it and it has not bent (look at the scars) but I tend to wheel pretty gently..
This is a pic of their skidplate that I found on their website today...
As you can see, it still is the exact same design with the welded on cross support/mud catcher as shown in this pic...

And here is the mod to prevent the RROR transfer case skid bending that I mentioned.. The skid plate itself is the same just two new bolt holes for the support bracket. As I mention seems to work as I have no bends as yet..

Maybe it's just the pic but, am I seeing a bracket that is bent at the bottom and then welded to another piece at the top? Are those some kind of gap at the bend and welded piece I'm seeing? Don't get me wrong but I'm far from impressed by what I see and at best, that thing "might" be able to "help" prevent the skid plate from bending IF it doesn't break first. Of course, that's just my opinion and based on what I can see.

Im confused now! why are you asking for pics if you have something already? im all for helping and showing pics but this now seems like a waste of time!
Its the picture, its tough to get a great one.. The new support bracket is connected at the top to a stock crossmember by the way of a 90 bend the bottom ties into the existing truss/mud grabber on the skid.. It is 1/4 inch plate.
I am not defending RROR but at least they have modded a known weakness..
For me at least nothing has bent yet, but it probably will :+)

The shop fitted the RROR plates overnight.. I only got it back yesterday. Hence the pics yesterday and today..
They had told me they could not get the RROR back on so I was happy enough to go back to the stocks as they tend to hold up pretty well..
Sorry for any confusion. .
