Unique Design

With creature comforts like this RH4x4 exclusive "rock dome" bolt head protectors for the supplied mounting hardware and total Transfer Case coverage - this skid system is undoubtedly the industry's premium package
This system is cut and formed from a single sheet making it smooth and seamless. This gives you a true skid plate without rock catching and high centering flaws found in low-budget alternatives. The flared sides of this skid plate is upwards for side impact protection that also helps glide you off the obstacle rather than high center.
Mounting
The RH4x4 transfer case skid plate mounts to your cross member and frame rails - not your transfer case mounts. This means this skid transfers zero vibration through your chassis. This allows your transfer case to continue to flex in its mounts naturally. This makes for a smoother and quieter ride like factory without the creaks, ringing, vibrating, and harsh performance of inferior systems.
NOTE: Aftermarket cross members may require customer supplied bolts. The pattern is correct however some manufacturers are using different thread patterns.
Strength
Rock Hard’s skid plate system is the industry standard because of the confidence it instills in each and every customer. Each skid is laser cut from 1/4" thick aluminum coated in weather and debris resistant powder coat finish. Strength is proven on virtually all Jeep enthusiast forums with glowing reviews. Since 2007 Rock Hard skid plate system has been the undisputed leader in undercarriage protection.
