RCI Offroad Catalytic Guard For 2021+ Bronco & 2024+ Ranger

RCI Offroad Catalytic Guard Kit | 2021+ Bronco & 2024+ Ranger

High-Security Theft Prevention. 12-Gauge Steel. Direct Bolt-On Armor.

The Ultimate Defense Against Theft and Terrain

Protect your investment from the rising epidemic of catalytic converter theft and expensive underbody damage. The RCI Metalworks Catalytic Guard Kit provides full coverage for the exposed exhaust components of your 2021+ Bronco or 2024+ Ranger.

Precision-engineered in Colorado, USA, these guards fill the vulnerable gap between the vehicle frame and your transmission skid plate. Built from CNC laser-cut 12ga steel, they offer a seamless theft prevention solution that doesn't compromise on-road performance or off-road clearance.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Catalytic converter theft takes less than 60 seconds but costs thousands in repairs, insurance deductibles, and weeks of vehicle downtime.
The RCI Solution: These guards create a physical barrier that makes access to the converters nearly impossible for thieves, while the vented design ensures your exhaust stays cool.

Owner Peace of Mind ★★★★★

"After hearing about catalytic converter thefts in my neighborhood, I added these to my RCI transmission skid. The install took about 10 minutes. They fit perfectly and fill the gaps that thieves usually exploit. The vented design is a great touch—no overheating issues at all."

- Mike T., Bronco Heritage Edition Owner
Installation Requirement Note

RCI Compatibility: These catalytic guards require an RCI Transmission Skid Plate (either Steel or Aluminum) for installation, as they bolt directly to the pre-cut holes on the skid plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will these fit without an RCI Transmission skid plate?

No. These catalytic guards are specifically designed to bolt into pre-cut holes found on RCI Transmission Skid Plates. They are not compatible with the factory transmission skid or other aftermarket brands without modification.

+ Can a thief still cut through these?

While any metal can be cut with enough time and noise, thieves look for easy targets (sub-60 second jobs). These guards act as a massive deterrent, making the theft attempt loud, time-consuming, and difficult, usually causing them to move on to an unprotected vehicle.

+ Do these guards affect fuel economy or heat?

The aerodynamic impact is negligible as they sit flush with the underbody. The vented design specifically allows for convection and airflow, ensuring your converters operate within their safe temperature range.

+ Are they sold as a pair?

Yes. Every order includes both the Driver and Passenger side catalytic guards and the necessary hardware to secure them.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No. These are a 100% direct bolt-on addition to the RCI Transmission skid plate. They utilize pre-drilled holes, making installation a simple process with basic hand tools.
