Borne Off‑Road Drivetrain Skid Plate Kit – Part No. BNSD‑F35T‑17K

The Borne Off‑Road Drivetrain Skid Plate Kit (Part No. BNSD‑F35T‑17K) is a rugged, high-strength protection system engineered to safeguard the most critical under‑body components of your truck. Crafted to endure the harshest off-road conditions, this kit provides full coverage for the engine, transmission, and transfer case—areas where factory shields fall short. Built from thick steel and finished for corrosion resistance, it makes a compelling upgrade for any serious off-road or performance-minded driver.

Key Features

• Direct-fit design tailored for the specific chassis—no cutting, drilling, or welding required.

• Constructed from 5/32‑inch plate-steel for superior strength and impact resistance.

• Electro-galvanized base with a black powder-coat finish to resist rust and corrosion in demanding environments.

• Venting engineered into the plates to allow proper drainage and prevent suction when navigating deep mud.

• Additional reinforced mounting points to reduce flex and improve rigidity under load.

• Recessed hardware provides a smooth underbody surface, minimizing the risk of shearing mounting bolts or snagging on obstacles.

• All edges and corners are reinforced and bent at 80° to further strengthen resistance against impacts.

• Complete kit includes an Engine Skid Plate, Transmission Skid Plate, and Transfer Case Skid Plate, along with all required mounting hardware. 

• Backed by a Borne Off‑Road Lifetime Warranty, giving long-term peace of mind.

Benefits

• Significantly improves under‑body protection, guarding drivetrain components (engine, transmission, transfer case) and catalytic converters from trail hazards.

• Reduces risk of costly repairs by preventing damage caused by rocks, ruts, or deep terrain.

• Maintains original mounting architecture — straightforward installation preserves the integrity of the vehicle and keeps it reversible.

• Durable, long-lasting finish stands up to corrosion, preserving value and appearance.

• Designed for serious off-road abuse — built for drivers who demand performance, whether on dunes, trails, or work sites.

• Lifetime warranty ensures that this protection is a long-term investment, not just a temporary upgrade.

• Enhances resale appeal by showing thoughtful investment in under‑vehicle protection.
