Description

Juggernaut 2023+ GMC Canyon Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield

Transmission & Catalytic Converter Protection. Bolt-On Installation. Made in the USA.

Your Transmission and Catalytic Converters Hang Low and Unguarded

This plate shields the transmission and catalytic converters on the 3rd Gen GMC Canyon, where they sit exposed below the frame rails on exactly the trails the AT4 was built for. A cracked transmission pan ends your trip on the spot, and a stolen cat is a four-figure repair — this plate is a physical deterrent that makes your converters a hard target instead of an easy grab.

Aluminum can't rust the way steel plates do — every scratch on steel armor is where corrosion starts, especially with road salt. Ours is 1/4" 5052 aluminum, powder-coated black, CNC plasma-cut and press-brake formed in our Wheat Ridge, Colorado shop.

Why Choose Juggernaut Protection?

The Pain: One rock ledge or one thief with a sawzall is all it takes — the transmission pan and catalytic converters hang exposed below the frame rails.
The Juggernaut Solution: A single plate that protects both — impact protection underneath and a solid deterrent between a sawzall and your converters.

Fitment: GMC Canyon 2023-current

Fits the following:

2023-current GMC Canyon and GMC Canyon AT4

Aluminum vs. Steel — Why We Build in 1/4" Aluminum

What Matters Underbody Our 1/4" 5052-H32 Aluminum Typical 3/16" Steel
Resistance to Bending ✓ Higher — bend resistance rises with the square of thickness ✗ Baseline
Weight ✓ About half — easier on payload ✗ Heavier
Corrosion ✓ Won't rust ✗ Rusts where the coating chips
Surface Hardness (drag over rock) Softer — can gouge on granite ✓ Harder — steel's real edge
Hardware ✓ Included Often Sold Separately
Origin ✓ Made in USA (Colorado) Imported

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What does this plate protect?

The transmission pan and catalytic converters — two of the most expensive and most targeted parts under the truck.

+ Does this fit the Canyon AT4X?

No — this plate does not fit the AT4X with underbody cameras, since the camera housing interferes with the plate.

+ Can I still change my oil?

Yes — a removable oil drain access panel lines up with the drain plug, so oil changes don't require dropping the plate.

+ Will this fit with the factory off-road package?

Yes — it's designed to fit alongside the factory off-road package's engine skid plates.

+ Is installation difficult?

No. The plate bolts to your Canyon's existing factory mounting points — no drilling or cutting required.

+ Does adding a skid plate void my vehicle warranty?

No — under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, bolt-on aftermarket parts can't void your factory warranty on their own.

Prop 65

California Residents

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
