Mercury Skid Plates

If you do any kind of serious off-roading that can potentially damage your undercarriage and you want to prevent just that from happening (or if you just want your ride to look cool), a skid plate will get the job done. A proper Mercury skid plate will help protect your chassis, including the engine, oil pan, and transfer case, from incurring any damage while out on the trails or on the street. A Mercury skid plate is cheap insurance against a battered underbody, and will add a tough look to your ride that is just begging for attention.

Although tough, many Mercury skid plates are made of lightweight materials such as aluminum and stainless steel so as to not add any unneeded weight to your vehicle. Those that are made of steel are generally built for extreme conditions where damage would otherwise be imminent, such as differential skid plates that are repeatedly hit during off-roading excursions. Some Mercury skid plates are made for street use and are primarily designed to offer lowered vehicles some undercarriage protection against rocks and large grooves in the road.

Q: What is a skid plate? Why buy one?
A: Skid plates are steel or metal plates designed to protect the undercarriage of your vehicle from hard impacts and damage from things like rocks and tree branches. There are a huge range of applications for skid plates including u-bolt protection, gas tank protection, transfer case and transmission guards, oil pan guards and suspension protection. Any component under your vehicle is vulnerable to a ground attack. If you drive on rough roads then it is a good idea to add some armor to your undercarriage with aftermarket skid plates. These plates have been designed to withstand heavy abuse to keep your vehicle safe and in good running condition. The last thing you want when driving down the trail is to punch a hole in your oil pan or gas tank. With a protective skid plate mounted you no longer have to worry about getting stranded in the middle of nowhere.
