DV8 Offroad Xtract Hitch Skid Plate; Red (Universal; Some Adaptation May Be Required)

Protect And Recover. The DV8 Offroad Xtract Hitch Skid Plate brings trail-ready defense and confident recovery capability to builds that need both function and style, pairing a glossy red profile with serious strength. Engineered with a universal fit, it slides directly into standard 2-inch receivers using a 5/8-inch pin, transforming your hitch into a protective skid that also serves as a dependable pull point when the terrain gets rough.

Construction and Appearance. Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the body balances high tensile strength with reduced weight, while the glossy red finish adds a bold, easy-to-spot accent on the trail. A replaceable Delrin skid pad takes the abrasion so the aluminum doesn’t have to, and it’s secured with countersunk hardware for a snag-free underside. Integrated, 1-inch-thick mounts accept 3/4-inch D-rings and are rated for a working load limit of 13,000 pounds, providing a stout interface for recoveries. The compact, low-drag form factor reduces hang-ups and keeps clearance tidy over ledges and ruts.

Installation. Setup is straightforward: slide the skid into a 2-inch receiver, align the through-hole, and secure with a 5/8-inch hitch pin rated for recovery use. Add your preferred 3/4-inch D-ring to the integrated mounts, verify shackle clearance with your bumper, and you’re ready to roll. When the Delrin pad shows wear, remove the countersunk Allen heads, swap the pad, and re-torque—no specialized tools or fabrication required. This direct replacement approach keeps maintenance fast and field-friendly.

Application. This DV8 Offroad Xtract Hitch Skid Plate is a universal fit. By combining a sacrificial skid surface with robust recovery mounts, it protects vulnerable rear-end hardware, streamlines extractions, and adds a vivid, performance-first touch that stands up to real trail abuse while keeping daily drivability intact.
