The Story

RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate | 2021-Present Bronco

Heavy-Duty Armor. Steel or Aluminum Options. 100% Bolt-On Protection.

Complete Your Underbody Defense

The RCI Metalworks Transfer Case Skid Plate is the essential final piece for your 6th Generation Bronco's underbody protection. The factory transfer case and vacuum pump are dangerously low-hanging, leaving them exposed to jagged rocks and trail obstacles that can end your trip instantly.

Whether you’re a hardcore rock crawler or an overlander seeking peace of mind, RCI offers precision-engineered armor in either 3/16" Steel or 1/4" Aluminum. Each plate is designed to provide a smooth, flat surface that allows your Bronco to slide over obstacles rather than getting hung up on them.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: OEM protection is either nonexistent or made of thin material that buckles under pressure, leading to expensive transfer case housing cracks.
The RCI Solution: A rugged, no-drill skid plate that protects both the transfer case and the vulnerable vacuum pump while maintaining a low-profile fit.

Key Features: RCI Transfer Case Armor

Vacuum Pump Protection

Unlike many competitors, our design specifically extends to shield the vulnerable vacuum pump from upward impacts.

Aluminum Weight Savings

The aluminum version weighs only 15 lbs—exactly 50% the weight of steel—while providing superior corrosion resistance.

Tough Steel Finish

Steel plates come standard with a heavy-duty black powder coat, designed to resist salt, mud, and trail rash.

Easy Maintenance

The low-profile design ensures your Bronco remains easy to service without constant removal of the skid plate.

Over-Engineered in the USA

We believe your armor should be as tough as your Bronco. RCI skids are tested in the most demanding off-road environments to ensure they never fail when you need them most. Every plate includes high-quality hardware for a secure, rattle-free fit.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The quality of the RCI plate is night and day compared to the factory 'protection'. I went with the aluminum to keep the weight down, and it has already saved my vacuum pump from a nasty stump. The install was straightforward and it fits perfectly with my other RCI skids."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Should I choose Steel or Aluminum?

Steel is best for dedicated rock crawling where you expect heavy, repeated impacts. Aluminum is ideal for overlanding and general off-roading as it is 50% lighter, rust-proof, and still significantly stronger than factory skids.

+ Does this require any drilling or cutting?

No. This skid plate is a 100% bolt-on application that utilizes existing factory mounting holes. You can install it in your driveway with basic hand tools.

+ Is this compatible with the Bronco Raptor?

No. The Raptor model has a different underbody configuration. This plate is specifically designed for all other 2021-Present Bronco trims.

+ Does it protect the vacuum pump?

Yes. RCI has extended the design of this transfer case skid to specifically cover and protect the vulnerable vacuum pump found on the 6th Gen Bronco.

+ Will this fit with my factory or other brand skid plates?

While designed to work seamlessly with the RCI Underbody Package, this plate generally works with factory skids. Compatibility with other aftermarket brands may vary depending on their mounting points.
