Precision deep-stamped from 1\/4-inch aluminum alloy, the skid plate is engineered to deliver excellent rigidity and impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight. At just 18 lb, the design helps preserve valuable ground clearance while providing added protection against rocks, logs, ruts, and other hazards encountered on demanding trails. Natural aluminum corrosion resistance also helps protect against rust if the powder-coated finish becomes scratched during years of hard use, making this skid plate a practical upgrade for rock crawling, overlanding, and everyday off-road adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision deep-stamped 1\/4-inch aluminum alloy construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 lb lightweight design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent rigidity and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-drill installation using existing factory mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for off-road protection against rocks, logs, ruts, and harsh terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural corrosion resistance helps prevent rust if the coating is scratched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte Metallic Silver Powder Coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware and installation manual included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect factory mounting design helps simplify installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps protect vulnerable transmission and underbody components during off-road driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides durable protection without the unnecessary weight associated with heavier steel skid plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain ground clearance by using a lightweight aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides added confidence when navigating rocks, logs, ruts, and demanding trails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant aluminum construction provides long-term durability in demanding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo drilling is required for installation, helping make the upgrade more straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIVAL provides warranty and product support through its technical support process; a specific warranty duration is not stated on the manufacturer's product page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Aluminum Transmission Skid Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: 2333.1886.4.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 1\/4-inch Aluminum Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology: Precision Deep-Stamped Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 18 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Matte Metallic Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matte Metallic Silver Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: No-drill, direct installation to existing factory mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Skid plate, mounting hardware, and installation manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Off-road underbody protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy.\u003c\/strong\u003e The RIVAL design uses existing factory mounting points and requires no drilling, making installation straightforward for a properly equipped DIY installer or professional shop. RIVAL's product page does not publish a specific installation time for this exact transmission skid plate. The shortest installation time shown in RIVAL customer feedback for a Ranger skid plate is 10 minutes, although that report applies to a different Ranger skid plate and should not be treated as a guaranteed installation time for part number 2333.1886.4.6. RIVAL recommends running the bolts into the nut plates a few times or using a tap on the included hardware and bracketry before final assembly to help ensure smooth installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear Range: 2024-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake: Ford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Ranger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim: XL, XLT, Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear Range: 2024-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake: Ford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Ranger Raptor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Compatibility Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Ford Ranger FX4 and Ranger Raptor applications, this transmission skid plate is not compatible with the factory steel transfer case cover. For maximum transfer case protection, RIVAL specifies the 2333.1887.4.6 Aluminum Transfer Case Skid Plate, which mounts on a 5mm thick reinforced crossmember. If the factory steel transfer case cover is being retained, RIVAL specifies the 2333.1898.1.6 Aluminum Transmission Skid Plate instead. The manufacturer notes that the factory steel transfer case cover is 3.64mm thin and lacks an additional support point, making it susceptible to contacting the transfer case during an impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor questions about this product or to report product description inaccuracies, contact the MPT Performance experts at (407) 636-7077 or by email.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rival 4x4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47778735718578,"sku":"RLL2333.1886.4.6","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/4341\/8034\/files\/2333.1886.4.6_05b30169-fa32-4940-a43a-ac586a67bb87.webp?v=1790162270","url":"https:\/\/morepowertuning.com\/products\/rival-2024-2026-ford-ranger-ford-ranger-raptor-aluminum-transmission-and-cat-converter-skid-plate","provider":"More Power Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
