ABSTRACT:
A skid bar is mountable on existing front tow hooks of a vehicle, for protecting an engine, transmission and/or engine accessories from severe road conditions. The skid bar includes an elongated lateral member and a pair of end plates fixed to opposing ends of the lateral member. The end plates correspond to and are engageable with the existing tow hooks of the vehicle. The underguard skid bar extends in front of and below an engine/transmission assembly for protecting the same when the vehicle is travelling on a road having severe obstacles such as road bumps or road gutters. Each end plate has a plurality of bolt holes corresponding to tow openings in the existing tow hooks, such that each end plate is securable to the existing tow hooks, by being bolted thereto, through the tow openings in the existing tow hooks. Furthermore, each of the end plates presents a tow opening in a forward portion thereof.
