Primitive - Uni "1-Bolt" Rear Differential Skid Plate (3/16")

Tailored Armor for the R160 1-Bolt Carrier.

Protect the most vulnerable part of your drivetrain with the Primitive Racing R160 "1-Bolt" Rear Differential Skid Plate. This plate is specifically designed for Subaru models equipped with the R160 rear differential featuring the one-side carrier bolt configuration. The rear differential is often the first point of contact during steep descents or when navigating rocky terrain. This heavy-duty 3/16" aluminum plate provides a wrap-around shield that guards the cast-iron housing and mounting studs, ensuring you don't get hung up or sustain expensive casing damage on the trail.

Product Features

Carrier-Specific Design: Precision-engineered to fit the R160 differential with the "1-bolt" side carrier mount, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum clearance.

Wrap-Around Protection: The plate is formed to wrap around the bottom and sides of the differential, providing protection from both direct vertical impacts and lateral trail debris.

Heavy-Duty 3/16" Aluminum: Laser-cut from premium 5052 Aluminum, offering the perfect strength-to-weight ratio for off-road use.

Smooth Glide Surface: Featuring a tapered leading edge and countersunk mounting holes, this plate acts as a "sled" to help your vehicle slide over obstacles without snagging.

Maintenance-Friendly: Designed to stay out of the way of vital components while providing the maximum possible coverage for the rear gear set.
