Jeep Renegade Skid Plates

Jeep Renegade Skid Plates protect the oil pan, transmission, and fuel tank from the rock strikes and debris that the Renegade's capable suspension puts it in range of, and running a proper steel or aluminum skid system is one of the upgrades that makes the difference between a Renegade that does mild trails and one that can push further without risking an expensive undercarriage repair. The factory plastic bashers on most Renegade trim levels offer minimal protection in actual off-road conditions.

 

Coverage footprint is the variable that matters most here since a skid that protects only the oil pan leaves the transfer case and fuel tank exposed to the same rocks that just passed under the engine. Steel skids absorb direct hits better on aggressive terrain while aluminum skids are lighter and still offer solid protection for moderate trail use, and the choice comes down to how hard the Renegade is pushed and how much unsprung weight is acceptable.
