Skid Plate UVP

Under Vehicle Protection (UVP) involves adding strong plates (bash plates) and coatings to shield a vehicle’s vulnerable underside (engine sump, transmission, transfer case) from damage off-road, using materials like steel or aluminum to protect against rocks and terrain, while also referring to rust-proofing sprays like Under Armour or waxes for corrosion prevention, protecting vital components from impacts and the elements, says.

Types of UVP:

Bash Plates/Skid Plates: Heavy-duty, vehicle-specific plates (often 3mm steel) that bolt on to cover vital parts like the radiator, sump, and gearbox, preventing them from being crushed or punctured by rocks and obstacles.
Corrosion Protection: Coatings like waxes (e.g., Bilt Hamber Dynax UC) or hydrophobic sprays (e.g., Under Armour) applied to the bare chassis to repel water, mud, and salt, preventing rust.

Key Components Protected:

Engine Sump (Oil Pan)
Transmission
Transfer Case
