CFM Industries Chevy/GMC K5 Blazer & Jimmy Gas Tank Skidplate – Heavy Duty & Extreme Duty Options
$449.95
Protect your fuel system with the CFM Industries Heavy Duty Gas Tank Skidplate for Chevy/GMC K5 Blazers and Jimmys. Factory sheetmetal skidplates are thin and prone to damage — this upgrade delivers serious protection with 3/16-inch hot rolled steel and an optional Extreme Duty version featuring a 1/4-inch thick bottom plate.
Laser cut, precision formed, and available in either a weld-it-yourself kit or fully welded, ready-for-paint version, this skidplate is built in the USA to handle the toughest off-road abuse. Whether you’re rock crawling, snow wheeling, or overlanding, this is the upgrade your K5 needs to keep moving forward.
⚠️ Note: Made to order. Please allow 1–2 weeks fabrication plus shipping time.
