Deep-Stamped 1/4" Aluminum. Unbeatable Strength. Minimal Weight. 100% Bolt-On.
Armor for Your F-150’s Vital OrgansProtect your vehicle’s underbody with RIVAL premium skid plates, engineered from Deep-Stamped 1/4-inch Aluminum for unbeatable strength and minimal weight. Designed for serious off-roaders, these high-performance skid plates shield vital components like your transfer case from rocks, logs, and rough terrain without weighing your vehicle down.
Whether you’re rock crawling in a Tremor or overlanding in a PowerBoost, RIVAL aluminum skid plates deliver maximum durability and peace of mind. Thanks to the natural corrosion-resistant properties of aluminum, you’ll never have to worry about rust, even if the coating gets scratched or gouged in the wild.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: The F-150's transfer case is exposed and vulnerable. Factory "protection" is often plastic or thin steel that adds weight and invites rust.
The RIVAL Solution: A 13 lb, 1/4-inch thick aluminum shield that is 30% lighter than steel, naturally rust-proof, and designed with concealed fittings to slide over obstacles.
Engineered Excellence: The RIVAL Advantage
Bolt heads are recessed and protected, ensuring you can always remove the plate for service, even after heavy rock strikes.
Integrated slots allow water, mud, and debris to drain out, preventing weight buildup and keeping your components clean.
Unlike flat plates, RIVAL plates are deep-stamped, which increases structural rigidity by up to 3x compared to flat aluminum.
The multi-stage coating includes a zinc primer and a silver powder coat for double the protection against harsh road salts.
Built for the Long HaulWe don't cut corners. RIVAL skid plates feature heavy-duty 1/4" aluminum construction that provides a smooth sliding surface for obstacles. The low-profile design ensures your ground clearance remains maximized for technical trails.
13 lbs Lightweight 1/4 Inch Thickness Deep Stamped Reinforcement No-Drill Installation
"Living in the rust belt, steel skids just don't last. The RIVAL transfer case plate fits my F-150 Tremor perfectly and has zero signs of oxidation after a winter of salted roads. The install was straightforward—definitely use a tap on the threads like they recommend for a smooth finish!"

No. Unlike steel skid plates, aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant. Even if you gouge the powder coating on a rock, the exposed aluminum will not rust or weaken, making it perfect for wet or salt-prone climates.
This skid plate is designed for stock or leveled vehicles. It does not fit lift kits that utilize crossmember drop brackets (commonly found in 4-6" lifts). If your lift only uses spacers or new coilovers without dropping the front diff, it should fit fine.
No. The RIVAL Transfer Case Skid Plate is a 100% bolt-on system. It mounts directly to existing factory points on your F-150 chassis.
Flat aluminum plates can bend relatively easily under the weight of a truck. RIVAL's stamping process adds 3-dimensional ribs and curves to the metal, which significantly increases the "stiffness" and impact resistance without adding more thickness or weight.
The F-150 Transfer Case plate weighs just 13 lbs. This allows you to protect your vital drivetrain components without sacrificing fuel economy or exceeding your payload capacity.

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
