Looks like we have choices in US for Diff Skid Plates

The large bolts do fit in two of the threaded holes?

Yes the two that are further apart from one another. I just crawled under it to double check. I used a 14mm on them. (12mm on smaller)

Thank you, @PNW_IG !

Custom Offroad in Australia are doing stainless steel bash plates for the Grenadier. They no longer do Aluminium, instead 3mm or 4mm stainless and the weight is less than the Rival plates you guys have been mentioning. Great quality and great price AU$459 including freight to metro areas gets 4mm SS transmission and transfer case plates weighing only 21kg all up.

Mine just turned up today.

Off to talk to them on Thursday about whether they can make a few more bits especially to protect trailing arm joints and the diffs

Yeah get the to crack on will ya I already have their bash plates

Finally got the rear diff plate on. Same happened as with @PNW_IG: Forward holes aligned and only one rearward hole. Last plate hole wouldn't align with threaded chassis hole so I used a step drill to widen both rear plate holes. Was able to seat the last bolt with the extra plate wiggle room. I'm good for only one plate per day. Too hot outside even at night.

Front diff plate installed. Two of the threaded holes also had plastic plugs. Per @PNW_IG, I removed them with needle nose pliers. Impact driver helped a lot with getting the bolts seated.

I received the "re-engineered" Agile Off Road rear skid and it fit perfectly. 5 Minute install, very happy. They called it re-engineered, looked the same except holes lined up.

Has anyone else went with the SPP plates? I bought their total kit with 8 pieces and they even powder coated them red to match my frame. The kit is well made, sturdy and heavy as hell. I honestly can’t recall the price on the powder coating, but you can email Mr. Lars Becker via the link below and he will hook you up and take care of you. I am in the USA and this does come from Germany so there is some shipping costs, but again some of the pieces weigh a ton. See pics for thickness as I believe this may be the thickest set out so far at 6mm (high grade aluminum they say). I did some “light” taping and standing on etc and I have no doubt it will absorb some punishment. I’m not ever going rock crawling, but will be off road in some rough spots eventually so getting it ready!

Anyone who drives off-road knows the feeling: “Can I get across there?” If things get tight, our GorillaGuard underbody protection reliably protects you from damage to the underbody.
