Found a great deal on take off OEM Skid Plates!

[nglauer]

I just ordered a set of new take off skid plates I found on eBay. Appears that the seller had multiple sets available. Thought I would share, because I thought this seemed like a great deal. Now I'll need to buy the 3rd skid plate and bolts.

The seller is apparently a military surplus seller. Would love to know what was installed in place of these....

I am presuming that the B.P Trucks get some bomber shielding with their lifts.

I tried to find information on the border patrol Tahoes, but couldn't find any 2015+

I would love to see what they are running for a lift and skid plates. Also curious what other modifications they may have.

I bought a set from him. Well packed and it looked like they were take off for maybe BP. Would recommend.

I agree. Good as new! I doubt they had any mileage on them.

I saw 2 this past weekend near Tombstone. One had the standard "snowplow" valance and the other the 'shorty' style. Neither were lifted (or it was not obvious). The ones closer to the border seem to be more apt to be lifted.

Just bought my set! Can't wait till they get here!

Got the transfer case shield from another seller for $29 and the bolts for $15. Should be a nice little upgrade.

I didn't actually need bolts, the ones holding my plastic skid plate and the two metal braces could have been reused. Although the ones I bought from fastenal seems to be much beefier. I did have one bolt missing in the front, it was striped out.

Can you explain to the uninformed what these two shields protect? I though one was for the transfer case but reading your post makes me think that's a different part

The two pictured skid plates primarily protect the front differential, engine, transmission areas. There is a third, smaller skid plate that bolts to the crossmember that protects the transfer case.

I bought the front two from the seller mentioned above, and the transfer case one from another eBay seller.

GM Offers all three as a kit as well, which comes with all the bolts. I don't have the part number at the moment.

I just ordered these two, if you have the part number laying around for smaller one that would be awesome

thanks

P.S those bolts are kinda pricey lol

The part number for the "small" plate itself is 20922755. Costs $29.61 on eBay.

The part number for the "small" plate packaged with the three bolts needed to attach it is 23282726. Costs $56.

The bolts I bought are here:

So my total cost was around $43, so I saved myself $13 doing it the cheap-o way.

The skid plate is actually listed in many places as a Chevy Colorado part - don't worry it's the same for our trucks and will fit.

Glad you got the skids on eBay! I ordered mine three days ago and he just shipped them today...I hope yours shipped with mine and you don't have to wait as long. That guy has sold three sets just to members of this board alone! Haha!

Welp finally got the plates and got them installed today! Very happy with the result! Thanks to the OP for the tip on these.

No chance this fits the older nnbs?

the front one looks exactly the same grey, I can’t see there being much of a difference in the nbs nnbs frames and k2’s frames tbh how much could they have possibly changed. Even though it says it doesn’t fit for that part number for the front one I think it will.

Interesting....it is a good deal

Maybe I'll give it a shot

If I didn’t have that aluminum one I bought from ebay and the transfer case one I definitely would make it work

Thanks again for the tip on these, they arrived last week and I am planing to get them on when I do my fluid changes

No problem, glad this helped other forum members.

When I installed mine using a torque wrench to 19ft-lbs I had both screws in the front continue to spin on the front skid. Any suggestions for correcting that for the next time I remove? Thinking maybe some yellow lock tight would do the trick?
