Three bolt-on aluminium plates that shield the engine sump, the transmission and catalytic converter, and the transfer case from rocks and stumps. They are cut from quarter-inch 5052 aluminium and ship as bare metal rather than painted.
why this one — Aluminium instead of steel is the whole argument here: quarter-inch 5052 takes a hit and keeps its shape without hanging steel-plate weight off the front of a half-ton truck that already carries a lot of nose weight. Buying the three-piece package rather than the engine skid alone matters on this truck because the transfer case is the part people actually tear open. Be realistic about the downsides: it ships bare so it will oxidise unless you coat it, it is made to order with a 1 to 2 week wait, and Talons Garage only confirms the fit on 5.7L 4x4 trucks.
- Drivetrain: 4WD only
- Requires: New body (DT), 2019-2023. Talons Garage confirms fitment on the 5.7L V8 with 4x4; other engines and 2WD were NOT confirmed and are deliberately not claimed here. Talons Garage warns it may not be compatible with lift kits that require subframe modifications. Made to order, 1-2 week processing.
