Protect your Frontier where it counts. Our Skid Row Offroad™ engine and transmission skid plate is built specifically for the first-gen Nissan Frontier, shielding your oil pan and transmission from trail hazards. The catalytic converter guards offer dual protection—from rocks on the trail and thieves in your driveway. Once installed, they form 3/8" thick structural ribs that stiffen and reinforce the skid plate for added strength where you need it most.

Material: Made of 3/16 inch thick steel
Finish: Semi-Gloss Black Powder Coat

Installation Instructions

Built to fit both automatic and manual transmission first-gen Frontiers, our Skid Row Offroad™ engine/transmission skid plate is crafted from laser-cut 3/16" steel and CNC-folded for a precise fit every time. It's finished in a durable, environmentally friendly black powder coat over a zinc-rich primer for long-lasting corrosion resistance—even in harsh environments.

Installation is simple and solid. It mounts directly to the truck’s frame with minimal drilling and uses standard carriage bolts—no custom hardware—so replacement is easy if you ever need it.

Real-world trail testing taught us something else: this skid plate doesn’t just protect your drivetrain—it actually helps your Frontier glide over obstacles by preventing the crossmembers from hanging up. It’s one more way we’ve engineered confidence into every ride.

At Skid Row Offroad™, we don’t just make armor—we make your Frontier more capable.
