Skid plates are essential equipment for anyone planning to take their Sprinter off road. We are not just talking about extreme rock crawling. Even mild trails can hide obstacles that are difficult to spot and capable of causing serious damage to the critical systems underneath your van.
In our view, the Engine Skid Plate and Rear Differential Skid Plate are the highest priorities, followed closely by the Transmission Skid Plate. While the transmission does not hang as low as the engine and is therefore somewhat more protected, it is particularly vulnerable during breakover situations.
Because the transmission is located near the center of the vehicle, it can be exposed when cresting a hill, crossing a berm, or navigating uneven terrain. In these scenarios, the middle of the vehicle can contact obstacles even when the front and rear clear them successfully.
The Owl Transmission Skid Plate is engineered to protect one of your van's most important and expensive drivetrain components, giving you confidence to tackle challenging terrain without worrying about what lies beneath.
Details:
- Fits: Sprinter 2500
- Material: Strong but lightweight aluminum
- Finish: Poweredcoated black (not raw like most companies)
- Includes all mounting hardware
- Engine Skid IS REQUIRED for trans skid installation
