Skid plates

[voyager1500]

Has anyone found any nice skid plates for the front of their trucks that replaces the OEM plastic splash pan.  I found a few but they are all designed for use with certain lift kits.  Im looking for more of a stock type application.  Thank you

I went with the factory "metal" ones, very nice fit and quality.

I don't know if these are the ones you are looking for but there is a set for sale in the for sale/wanted section.

Hi,  Thank you for that info.  I looked up online and it is saying that it doesnt fit the 2017's ?  Do you by chance have any pics of the plates ?  Did you install these on your 18 ?  should be the same then ? Thanks

I do have them on my 18, fit great, sorry I never got around to taking pictures of them.

 

Let me look up the old thread under skid plates.

 

You will need two additional bolts to make them work, plastic shield uses 6, these take 8 bolts. Should fit on the 17 no problem.

Thank you for the picture, now I do not have to crawl under mine

[voyager1500]

WOW !!!!  Those look awsome.   Thank you

Did those come factory on any trucks? Or just an optional item?

[HoosierZ]

They should have come on the Z71 but GM went cheap and used the plastic “splash shield”. The Z71 trucks did come with the steel transfer case skidplate.

i would be interested to find out if there is a skid plate for the fuel tank, since i traverse fire roads a bit, i grind on stuff, and the plastic tank doesnt provide me with confidance

I'd love to swap out mine on my '14 Z71. I'll have to see if I can find some.

 

Thanks for this.

You get any rocks or other items rattling inside the plates? My heat shields are notorious for trapping pebbles and I hear rattling. I've had to bend my heat shields to prevent stuff from kicking up inside them. Curious if anything rattles inside the plates. Thanks!

I haven’t noticed any rattles. I don’t drive on gravel roads very often though.
