{"product_id":"dv8-xtract-2-inch-hitch-receiver-skid-plate-with-d-ring-mount","title":"DV8 Xtract 2-Inch Hitch Receiver Skid Plate with D-Ring Mount","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe DV8 Xtract Hitch Skid Plate is a dual-purpose 6061-T6 billet aluminum skid plate that mounts to any standard 2-inch hitch receiver via a 5\/8-inch pin, protecting the hitch from rock contact while adding a 13,000 lb working-load-limit recovery point. The single-piece design is available in Black, Red, or Raw finishes, and the Delrin skid pad is replaceable or upgradeable without replacing the entire unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProtection Where Your Hitch Hits First\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a hitch drags across rock, the damage accumulates fast: gouged metal, bent receivers, and a hitch that no longer seats a ball or receiver accessory cleanly. The Xtract Hitch Skid Plate places a 1-1\/4-inch-thick aluminum body between the receiver and the terrain, with a 0.5-inch Delrin skid pad on the contact face. Delrin is a low-friction polymer: it slides across rock rather than biting into it, absorbing the scrape so the aluminum body and your vehicle's receiver tube do not. The result is a hitch that survives repeated rock contact in a condition that still works when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Recovery Point You Can Count On\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Xtract Hitch Skid Plate adds a 1-inch-thick shackle mount sized for a 3\/4-inch D-ring, rated to a 13,000 lb working load limit. Mounting directly to the hitch receiver means the recovery load transfers into the vehicle's frame-mounted hitch structure rather than a bumper or tow hook. A soft shackle is recommended for this mount, though a standard metal shackle is compatible. The D-ring itself is not included and must be sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReplaceable Pad, No Need to Replace the Whole Unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delrin skid pad is a wear item by design. When it wears down from repeated trail contact, a replacement Delrin pad (UNHS-DPAD) swaps in without replacing the aluminum body. For more demanding use, an aluminum skid pad (UNHS-APAD) is available as an upgrade. Both replacement and upgrade pads are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-piece 6061-T6 billet aluminum body:\u003c\/strong\u003e machined from a single billet for a skid plate and recovery mount that share one structural unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable Delrin skid pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5-inch low-friction pad absorbs rock contact; replacement (UNHS-DPAD) and aluminum upgrade (UNHS-APAD) pads sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1-inch-thick D-ring shackle mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e accepts a 3\/4-inch D-ring with a 13,000 lb working load limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-inch receiver mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e secures with a 5\/8-inch hitch pin (pin not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree finish options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Red, or Raw aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061-T6 billet aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSkid pad material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDelrin (included); aluminum upgrade available separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSkid pad thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.5 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSkid body thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1-1\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShackle mount thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShackle mount hole size\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3\/4 inch (D-ring)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWorking load limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e13,000 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eReceiver compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard 2-inch hitch receiver\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMounting pin size\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5\/8 inch (not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Red, Raw\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU (Black)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUNHS-01BL\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU (Red)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUNHS-01RD\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU (Raw)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUNHS-01RW\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Xtract Hitch Skid Plate suits overlanders and off-road drivers whose vehicle has a standard 2-inch hitch receiver and who want to protect that receiver from rock damage while adding a rated rear recovery point.

Some 2-inch OEM and aftermarket hitches with a gusset on the underside may also prevent proper fitment; the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma OEM hitch is a confirmed incompatible example. The 5\/8-inch hitch pin and D-ring shackle are not included.

The Delrin skid pad on the Xtract Hitch Skid Plate is designed to be replaced when worn. A replacement Delrin pad (UNHS-DPAD) and an aluminum upgrade pad (UNHS-APAD) are both available separately, so the aluminum body does not need to be replaced when the pad wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DV8 Offroad","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":50621776789574,"sku":"UNHS-01BL","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":50621776822342,"sku":"UNHS-01RD","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raw","offer_id":50621776855110,"sku":"UNHS-01RW","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/DV8-Xtract-Hitch-Skid-Plate-Black-1-sq.jpg?v=1791939331","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/dv8-xtract-2-inch-hitch-receiver-skid-plate-with-d-ring-mount","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
