Aluminum vs. steel — why we build in 1/4″ aluminum
Comparison of 1/4-inch 5052-H32 aluminum and typical 3/16-inch steel skid plates
What matters underbody
Our 1/4″ 5052-H32 aluminum
Typical 3/16″ steel
Resistance to permanent bending
Higher — bend resistance rises with the square of thickness
Baseline
Weight
About half — easier on payload
Heavier — a full set can top 120 lb
Corrosion
Won't rust
Rusts where the coating chips
Surface hardness (drag over rock)
Softer — can gouge on granite
Harder — steel's real edge
Thickness does more work than material name: resistance to permanent bending
scales with the square of plate thickness, so 1/4″ 5052-H32 aluminum
takes a bigger hit before it stays bent than the 3/16″ steel most kits run —
at about half the weight, and it never rusts. Steel’s honest advantage is
surface hardness: if your truck lives on rock ledges, steel gouges less. For
most owners, the thicker aluminum wins the trade.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about our skid plates and armor
What is a skid plate, and what does it protect?
Underbody armor that shields your oil pan, transmission, catalytic converter, transfer case, and front differential from rocks, road debris, potholes, and trail impacts.
What are Juggernaut skid plates made of?
1/4" 5052-H32 aluminum, powder-coated black, with steel mounting brackets where needed — made in-house in Wheat Ridge, Colorado from US-sourced aluminum.
Why aluminum instead of steel?
Aluminum is roughly half the weight of steel and won't rust — full-strength underbody protection without the weight penalty or corrosion of steel armor.
Will a skid plate hurt my gas mileage?
Negligibly — an aluminum set weighs about half what steel does, so the added weight is minimal.
Do I need one if I mostly drive on the street?
Yes — potholes, road debris, and steep driveways damage undercarriages even off the trail. It's cheap insurance against expensive repairs.
Do I have to drill or modify my vehicle to install it?
No — every Juggernaut skid plate is 100% bolt-on to factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or welding.
Can I install it myself?
Yes — bolt-on installation with basic hand tools, usually about 1–2 hours. Step-by-step guides are on each product's install page.
Can I still change my oil with the skid plate installed?
Yes — our plates include oil-drain access cutouts so you can do routine oil changes without removing the skid plate.
Will it affect engine or transmission cooling?
No — the plates are designed to preserve factory airflow to coolers and components.
Will it reduce my ground clearance?
Minimal — plates contour to the frame and tuck up against the underbody so they slide over obstacles rather than hang low.
Will it rust or corrode?
No — aluminum doesn't rust, and the black powder coat adds further corrosion resistance.
Does adding a skid plate void my vehicle warranty?
No — under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a bolt-on aftermarket part can't void your factory warranty on its own.
What warranty do Juggernaut skid plates include?
A lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Where are they made and how fast do they ship?
Made in the USA in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and shipped nationwide next business day. Use the year/make/model selector on any product page to confirm fit.

Frequently asked
Popular fitment questions first, then everything else about ordering and install.
Popular — does it fit & work?
Confirm fitment for your exact vehicle
Use the FIT tab at the top — every year, drive, engine and air-dam combo maps to the correct plate. Guaranteed to fit or we cover return shipping.
Not sure if your truck has an active air dam?
Most 2021+ trucks came with the active (lowering) air dam. The FIT tab asks for it and picks the matching plate either way — if you're unsure, text your VIN or trim to us and we'll confirm before you buy.
Does it fit the PowerBoost hybrid & lifted trucks?
Yes — select your engine in the FIT tab (PowerBoost has its own plate). Bolts to factory mount points, so leveling kits and lifts are no issue.
Does it change ground clearance?
It mounts flush to the factory crossmembers, so any change is minimal — you gain protection without meaningfully lowering the truck.
Will it affect cooling or airflow?
No. The plates are cut with airflow and oil-drain access in mind, so engine and transmission cooling are unaffected.
