Skid Plates (10)

Underbody Protection & Skid Plates for Porsche Cayenne & VW Touareg (2002–2010)

Overlandtrek underbody protection is engineered to keep the most vulnerable components on your Cayenne or Touareg safe from rocks, ruts, and trail debris. Our range covers the four critical underbody zones — engine, transfer case, rear differential, and gas tank — in both aluminum and manganese steel construction, plus side skid plates with integrated step bars.

Every skid plate is laser cut, CNC bent, and direct bolt-on to factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications required. Recessed mounting hardware protects bolts from rock damage, and the textured black powder-coat finish keeps them looking sharp.

Aluminum vs Manganese Steel

  • Aluminum skid plates — Lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Ideal for overlanders running larger tires or air suspension who want full coverage without the weight penalty. Excellent heat dissipation for engine protection.
  • Manganese steel skid plates — Maximum hardness and impact resistance. Ideal for serious rock work and high-consequence terrain where direct hits are likely.

If you're building a Cayenne or Touareg for serious off-road use, comprehensive underbody armor is non-negotiable. The factory plastic undertray is not protection — it's a placeholder. Pair our skid plates with our off-road bumpers, side steps, and lift kits for complete trail-ready protection.
