3D model description

Nothing kills a good crawl like getting hung up on an obstacle. By design, the WPL C14 and C24 both have pretty low hanging motors or gearboxes sticking out from under the frame. Especially if you are running a 2 speed gearbox, that thing sticks out waaay past the bottom of the chassis just asking to get caught on roots and rocks.

This skid plate and motor raiser combo solves all of these problems by raising the motor for more clearance and providing a smooth skid surface that slides over obstacles instead of getting snagged on them.

But wait, it get's better! This kit also comes with a set of optional rock sliders that help protect the body and also glide over obstacles.

Form, function and protection all in one must have kit for your C14/C24 build!

*Note interior or bed trimming may be neccessary

Features:
- Increased ground clearance
- Two different raiser heights (+12.5mm or +17.5mm over stock)
- Smooth skid surface that slides over obstacles
- Standard WPL motor mounting pattern supports both single and dual speed transmissions as well as upgraded metal gearboxes
- Optional full length rock sliders protects the body
- Durable bolt-together design requires no glue; easily replace broken or damaged components
- Motor raisers feature zip tie points to clean up wiring

Hardware requirements
- 4 x M2x10x0.4
- 6 x M2x10x0.4 (if sliders are being used)
- 4 x Standard WPL self tapping screws

Installation:
- Remove the C14/24 cab and bed
- Remove or loosen the driveshafts from the motor
- Remove the motor from the frame
- If sliders are being used, screw the sliders to their respective motor raiser using 3 M2 bolts per slider. The sliders and raisers have a dot that indicates the forward direction. The slider's dot is on the bottom of the slider. The raiser's dot is on the inside of the raiser.
- Loosely screw the motor raisers to the frame using standard WPL self tapping screws
- Loosely screw the motor to the motor raisers using standard WPL self tapping screws
- Loosely screw the skid plate to the motor raisers using 4 M2 bolts
