Title: WK skid plates? Dutch, Jay others
Post by: JamesH on July 17, 2014, 06:50:54 PM

Did the UK spec WK come with any and which skid plates?

Mine has a fuel tank skid but no transfer case or front engine / suspension skid, just plastic trays.

Could any WK owners take a look under and check theirs for me please?

They were fitted to some in US and Australia and are for sale in US.

Just having some ponderings!

Fook .... forgot .... wait one  (what was the question again) :003:

Edit : Likewise James --> metal protection for the tank, plastic under the engine + Gearbox --> transfer case exposed.

But then I've got the 'cheapo version' anyways  :003:

Thanks Dutch. Just waiting to see what a Jay has fitted and anyone that might have the posh Overland version.

They don't make a metal one for that middle bit, looks like the front one is supplied on some then. Did you notice a transfer case skid between fuel tank and that central crossmember?

Will double check that in the light James. Guess limited and overland obviously got slightly more protection
