Gobi-X Transfer Case Bash Plate — Ford Ranger (2023 onwards)

Short Product Summary

The Gobi-X Transfer Case Bash Plate covers one of the most expensive parts under the new-generation Ford Ranger, keeping rocks and stumps away from the transfer case on rough terrain. It's made from marine-grade aluminium and bolts onto the existing chassis mounts.

Why This Product

A transfer case is costly to replace and sits low enough to take a direct hit when the Ranger's underside meets a rock ledge or a deep rut. This plate stands between the two, fixed to the Ranger's own chassis mounting points without any changes to the vehicle.

Key Features

• Shields the transfer case – from rocks, stumps and other rough-terrain impacts
• Marine-grade aluminium construction – strong and corrosion-resistant without loading up the Ranger with extra weight
• Direct bolt-on fitting – no modifications required to fit it to the factory mounts
• 5182 marine-grade aluminium – lighter than a comparable steel plate over the same area
• Fits alongside other Gobi-X underbody plates – as part of broader protection for the Ranger's underside

Ideal For

• Technical trail drivers who regularly cross rock ledges and deep ruts
• Overlanders covering long distances off the tar who don't want a driveline repair mid-trip
• Ranger owners adding to their underbody protection who want the transfer case covered along with the rest
• Owners unsure of their exact Ranger variant and who'd rather have us confirm fitment first
