2 door Badlands, trans and transfer skids

[Fmuguira]

Trying to keep this simple so here goes; been looking for auto transmission skid plate that will:

- work with factory badlands oem skids
- interested in ones that allow engine oil changes ONLY requiring OEM engine skid removal ( not wanting to have to unbolt all skids when changing oil)
- want to maintain existing ground clearance

Also interested in possibly upgrading Badlands OEM transfer case skid plate that will work with OEM engine and aftermarket transmission skid plates while also not affecting engine oil change process.

Mostly concerned with transmission plate as Badlands already has transfer case plate even though not very substantial. ( That unprotected plastic transmission pan makes me quiver…. I could see a large sage or tree limb go right through it; yikes) Metal pan is planned for in a year or two at first service….

Thx for any help to those of you who ve already been through this as all my research has not provided answers to my above questions!

Edit, if it matters, my BL is the Capable Bumper; not modular.

What motor? My 2.3 you can change the oils by dropping the differential skid, but you do get a giant puddle on the transmission skid when you do the filter.

2.7. Oil filter in engine compartment. I put a Ronin plug in first oil change.

Dropping OEM skid for oil changes nice an easy, pull 2 bolts, loosen 2 and slide skid out of way. Would like to keep it that easy going forward thus my questions !!

I have an Asfir front skid that replaces both the bash plate and engine skid in one piece and doesn’t need removed to change oil

Does yours drain through a hole in skid? How do you get to oil plug/Ronin valve?

We will have both skids to meet your needs. A trans skid that works with the OE engine skid, and a transfer skid that provides more protection than the OE BL skid. Our trans skid also works with and without the 6 cyl crossmembers. Expect to release this fall.
