RIVAL Gen2 Aluminum Engine Transmission Catalytic Converter Skid Plate Ineos Grenadier - 2333.4501.1.6

RIVAL Gen2 Aluminum Engine Transmission Catalytic Converter Skid Plate Ineos Grenadier - 2333.4501.1.6

Safeguard the vital components of your Ineos Grenadier or Quartermaster with the RIVAL Gen2 Aluminum Skid Plate. This single plate is engineered to protect the engine, transmission, and catalytic converters from the hazards of off-road driving. Precision-made from deep-stamped 1/4-inch aluminum alloy, it offers a high-strength, lightweight barrier against rocks, logs, and other debris.

Made from 1/4-inch thick, deep-stamped aluminum alloy, it combines a lightweight design with exceptional strength, shielding your vehicle from rocks, logs, and scrapes without weighing it down.

Features

• -
  Extensive Coverage: Protects the engine, transmission, and catalytic converters, also serving as a theft deterrent for the latter.
• -
  Lightweight Design: At only 28 lbs, it delivers robust protection while being up to 30% lighter than comparable steel plates.
• -
  Corrosion-Resistant: Constructed from marine-grade aluminum alloy with a protective powder coating, this skid plate is built to resist rust and oxidation, even if scratched.
• -
  No-Drill Installation: This skid plate mounts directly to existing factory points on your vehicle's frame for a secure fit without any drilling or cutting.

Unique Design Features

• -
  Deep-Stamped Strength: The design incorporates concealed fittings and reinforcing ribs to ensure maximum strength and minimize damage on the trail.
• -
  Functional Airflow: Features apertures for water and dirt drainage, as well as vents to maintain airflow.

Specifications

What our Experts Think

• Full‑coverage aluminum armor — Heavy‑duty deep‑stamped aluminum shields the engine, transmission housing, and catalytic converter/exhaust underside from rocks, logs, debris, and off‑road hazards.

• Balanced strength and weight — Aluminum construction offers strong impact resistance without the excessive weight penalty of steel, helping preserve vehicle handling and fuel efficiency.

• Corrosion‑resistant, weather‑tough finish — Powder‑coated marine‑grade aluminum resists rust, mud, water, and environmental wear — built to last under harsh conditions.

• Integrated structural design — One contiguous skid plate covering multiple components reduces gaps in protection and simplifies underbody armor layout.

• Bolt‑on, no‑drill installation — Designed to mount to factory attachment points, making installation straightforward without the need for cutting or permanent modifications.

Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect after off‑road or rugged driving: After rough terrain or road‑hazard events, look for dents, deep scratches, bends or cracks — especially around mounting points, edges, and areas under heavy load or impact.

• Re‑torque all fasteners periodically: Following installation, double‑check and tighten bolts, then repeat after the first several drives and periodically (e.g. every 250–500 miles / ~400–800 km) or after heavy use to ensure secure fitment.

• Clean underside thoroughly: Rinse off mud, sand, salt, or road grime and make sure any drainage or ventilation cut‑outs remain clear so debris and moisture don’t accumulate.

• Check clearance and alignment after impacts: Ensure the skid hasn’t shifted, bent, or begun contacting exhaust, suspension, or other under‑body components—especially near catalytic‑converter and transmission zones.

• Monitor for fluid leaks and heat‑damage clues: Since this plate covers engine, transmission, and catalytic‑converter areas, periodically inspect edges and service‑access openings for oil, coolant, or exhaust‑related discoloration or seepage.

• Protect exposed metal if coating is compromised: If powder‑coating or protective finish gets scratched or damaged, treat exposed aluminum with a corrosion‑resistant sealant to help prevent oxidation and prolong longevity.

• After major impacts — perform a structural check before driving again: If there’s visible deformation or misalignment, remove and inspect the skid plate (and underlying mounts) carefully to prevent damage to engine, transmission or exhaust components.
