ALMONT4WD Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor Gearbox & Transfer Skid Plate - Underbody Protection

ALMONT4WD Gearbox & Transfer Skid Plate for Ford Ranger Raptor

The ALMONT4WD Gearbox & Transfer Skid Plate is centre-section underbody armour for Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor owners who want additional protection around the gearbox and transfer case. It is aimed at drivers using their Raptor on trails, rutted tracks, rocks, logs and expedition routes where the middle of the vehicle can scrape or take direct impact.

This is the dedicated gearbox and transfer skid plate, so it plays a different role from front, fuel tank and rear differential armour. Variant options are available for Next Gen Raptor - 3.0L Petrol and Next Gen Raptor - 2.0L Diesel, helping you choose the correct version for your build.

What This Gearbox and Transfer Skid Plate Does

On rough terrain, the central underbody area can be exposed when the vehicle drops over a ridge, bottoms in a rut or passes over loose trail debris. A gearbox or transfer case impact can quickly turn a capable 4x4 into a recovery problem.

This ALMONT4WD plate creates a protective barrier for the central drivetrain section and helps reduce the risk of damage from rocks, logs and scraping. The application is also described as covering petrol or diesel tube and filter areas, depending on vehicle variant.

• Helps shield the gearbox area from trail impacts and scraping.
• Helps protect the transfer case zone on demanding off-road routes.
• Adds centre underbody defence where rocks, logs and ruts can contact the vehicle.
• Supports a modular ALMONT4WD skid plate setup for Ranger Raptor builds.

Fitment and Variant Choice

This skid plate is for the Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor platform, with selectable variants for the 3.0L petrol and 2.0L diesel applications. It is not presented as a universal Ranger guard, so the correct engine variant should be selected before ordering.

• Next Gen Raptor - 3.0L Petrol - SKU PDFRB-8Raptor 1
• Next Gen Raptor - 2.0L Diesel - SKU PDFRB-8Raptor 2

If your vehicle has non-standard underbody equipment or you are unsure which variant applies, speak to Hoonies Adrenaline before ordering so the protection setup can be checked against your build.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Protection Setup

No-drill installation is confirmed for this ALMONT4WD skid plate. For correct support, the gearbox and transfer plate is linked to the front skid plate mounting arrangement, so plan the installation with the ALMONT4WD Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor Front Skid Plate rather than treating the centre plate as a fully standalone part.

If you are building the vehicle from scratch, the ALMONT4WD Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor Full Underbody Plate Kit may be the cleaner route, as it lets you plan protection coverage as a system instead of adding individual plates one at a time.

Who This Underbody Armour Is For

This skid plate is suited to Ranger Raptor owners who already know the central drivetrain is the next vulnerable area to protect. It makes sense if you have added or are planning front protection, regularly drive rocky routes, or use the vehicle for remote touring where avoiding underbody damage matters.

Choose this exact plate when the gearbox and transfer case are your priority. If your next concern is fuel tank or rear axle protection, compare the ALMONT4WD Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor Fuel Tank Skid Plate (Standard) and the ALMONT4WD Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor Rear Differential Skid Plate as separate rearward protection choices.

Before Ordering

• Select the 3.0L petrol or 2.0L diesel variant that matches your Ranger Raptor.
• Plan the install with the ALMONT4WD front skid plate because the centre plate is linked to that fixing arrangement.
• Check any existing underbody accessories or non-standard equipment before fitting.
• Consider the full underbody kit if you want to protect multiple zones in one planned setup.

Does this skid plate protect the transfer case?

Yes. The product type and application are specifically for gearbox and transfer case underbody protection, helping shield that central drivetrain area from rocks, logs and scraping.
