DV8 Offroad?s Bronco Rear Diff Skid Plate shields the differential, gasket seal, & pinion from damage by rocks underneath the Bronco. Branching out from the center skid is additional steel plating that protects the full length of the rear axle from link mount to link mount. There are multiple drain holes in several locations to release any water or mud that might collect in the skid plate while off-road.
