Dual-Action Protection: Trail Armor and Anti-Theft Catalytic Shield.
Armor Built for the Modern Trail & The Modern ThiefThe Juggernaut USA Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield is engineered specifically for the 2020+ Silverado HD. Your truck has two major vulnerabilities: a low-hanging transmission pan and high-value catalytic converters. This plate solves both problems with one piece of over-engineered armor.
Precision CNC-cut in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, this 1/4" aluminum plate shields your driveline from jagged rocks while serving as a formidable deterrent against theft. HD trucks are prime targets because their converters are valuable and easy to reach; a Juggernaut shield turns a 90-second theft into a job that isn't worth the effort.
Why Juggernaut Armor?The Pain: Catalytic converter theft can cost over $2,000 in repairs and weeks of downtime. Meanwhile, a single rock strike on your transmission pan can leave you stranded with a massive repair bill.
The Solution: We use 1/4" 5052-H32 Aluminum which is 50% lighter than steel, won't rust, and is thick enough to withstand massive impacts without permanently bending.
Key Features: Heavy Duty Driveline Defense
100% bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. No holes in your frame means your Silverado maintains its integrity and resale value.
High ground clearance makes HD trucks easy targets for sawzalls. This shield physically blocks access to your converters.
Bend resistance rises with the square of thickness. Our 1/4" plate takes a bigger hit than the 3/16" steel kits run.
Unlike steel, aluminum won't rust when the coating chips. Perfect for trucks that see winter road salt and heavy mud.
Includes high-strength Grade 8 steel hardware. We don't skimp on the fasteners that hold your protection in place.
Designed, CNC-cut, and finished in the USA. We test our gear on Rocky Mountain granite so you don't have to.
At just 27 lbs, this plate provides maximum protection without eating up your precious payload capacity.
We stand behind our craftsmanship. This skid plate is backed by a Lifetime Warranty on the materials and build.
Superior Material ScienceThickness does more work than material name alone. Resistance to permanent bending scales with the square of plate thickness, so our 1/4" 5052-H32 aluminum takes a bigger hit before staying bent than the 3/16" steel competitors use—at about half the weight.

"After seeing three trucks in my town get their converters stolen in broad daylight, I put this on my 2500HD. It was a perfect fit, bolted right up in my driveway. The aluminum is surprisingly thick and solid—gives me peace of mind both on the construction site and when I'm out on the trails."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Yes. This plate covers the transmission and wraps around to shield the area where the catalytic converters are located, making it physically difficult and time-consuming for thieves to access them with a sawzall.
No. The Juggernaut skid plate is a direct bolt-on component. It uses existing factory mounting points on your Silverado HD frame, so no drilling, cutting, or welding is needed.
This plate fits vehicles with factory suspension or small leveling kits. However, it will not fit trucks with a 4-inch lift or higher, as aftermarket drop brackets interfere with the mounting geometry.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
