skid plate

Vehicle belly protector

A skid plate is a protective metal or plastic panel mounted beneath a vehicle to shield the undercarriage from rocks, debris, and rough terrain.

Standard on off-road vehicles and trucks, skid plates cover vulnerable components like the engine oil pan, transmission, and fuel tank: The skid plate took a beating on the trail but saved the oil pan.
