Installed Rival 4x4's Tremor skidplate and catalytic converter cover

[MavFromTheDead]

Really happy with the skid plate. The catalytic converter cover is still pre production but looks good. I think next up is covers to replace the carpet pieces on the side.

Are those little access holes for doing oil changes without having to drop the whole plate?

Excited to see the aluminum skid plates they're launching for the felt panels...wonder if it'd be possible to keep the felt on there to keep road noise down.

Will be first in line if the felt can be replaced

Yes

Yep? That's the main reason I got it.

Does it have sound deadening material on the back like the factory plate?

Honestly I don't think the felt panels make that much difference. We took them off and there's not much to them. I'm sure you could probably cut the original ones and glue them if you wanted to try.

It does, but I haven't noticed any difference in sound.

It's coming. The driver side is the only side that actually needs protection. There's nothing under the felt on the passenger side. The hybrid has stuff that runs down that side.

Do you use a drain valve (like fumoto)? If so, which?

I'm considering the Rival plate and a drain valve but am curious about compatibility

I don't use a drain valve. I just remove the drain bolt like normal.

Those look great.
How long to install each skid plate?
Do you have more photos, maybe looking from the side or from the back?

Same mount points as stock for the skid plate. The catalytic converter took about 30mins, but it isn't the final design, so could change. Sorry, I don't think I have any other pics.
