Steel Skid Plate for Gearbox and Transfer Case 2.5 mm, Sheriff, Toyota Land Cruiser / FJ Cruiser 2003 - 2009

Skid plates are essential components of every vehicle. They are designed to prevent mechanical damage to components and assemblies located at the lowest points of the vehicle, providing protection against damage from rocks, debris, mud and other road hazards . The SHERIFF engine guards are designed to suit the individual vehicle's needs. Its design depends on the body type, engine displacement, transmission type, trim level, and other parameters. The SHERIFF range consists primarily of stamped guards and includes more than 4,700 models made of aluminum and steel. BENEFITS OF SHERIFF SKID PLATES : SHERIFF protections maximally cover the important elements of the car underneath. Easy installation and maintenance . SHERIFF protections are installed only in standard mounting locations, using galvanized fasteners and, where possible, pre-drilled holes for oil changes. The SHERIFF skid plate does not reduce the vehicle's ground clearance . Clearance requirements between the skid plate, engine compartment components, and gearbox are met. SHERIFF protections ensure optimal cooling of the engine and gearbox by repeating the holes in the boot provided by the car manufacturer, if necessary. SAFETY AND QUALITY Safety edges prevent the risk of injury during installation. Reinforced stamped ribs provide high resistance to mechanical impacts, equivalent to increasing the strength of the metal by 50%. SHERIFF protections undergo a multi-stage surface preparation before painting and also withstand a 720-hour salt spray test , which equates to 3-5 years of use on public roads. Noise and vibration absorption . It blocks the sound wave, making engine noise slightly quieter. To prevent the protection from resonating with the subframe, rubber shock absorbers are installed at the points of contact.
