How do we make a great thing even better? We took our original skid and added 2mm of additional ground clearance without any additional clocking of the transfer case. And then we updated the design so the same skid works with both leafed and 3-link setups on all 3 wheelbases of the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 (standard, LWB and SWB). As always, our skid works
with both the R3 2-speed and single speed transmissions without any modifications.
If you have the TF2 LWB, you will also need the N2R Coupling Bracket to align the coupling bearing with the new rear t-case output shaft position:

So go ahead...ditch the stock snow shovel and start sliding your TF2 over the rocks with ease.
NOTE: The black version is printed with white nylon and then dyed at the factory. When scratched, the white material will show and can easily be touched up with a black marker. The metallic plastic version is made from a metallic silver/gray material with no added coating. When scratched, the material underneath shows the same color as the material on the surface.
