Skid Plate & Guard Protection Kit for Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Crew (2017-2026)
Your Ranger's undercarriage takes a beating on the trail. Rocks, roots, logs, and debris will tear into unprotected components. This kit bolts on to shield your belly pan, suspension arms, CV boots, and side panels so you can focus on driving, not worrying about damage underneath.
What's In The Box
- Custom-fit skid plates (your choice of aluminum, hybrid, or UHMW)
- Front and rear A-arm guards
- CV boot guards
- Rock sliders for the sides
- All bolts and hardware — no drilling, just bolt it on
Material Options
Full Aluminum (F): Straight aluminum construction top to bottom. Strong, rigid, and proven to hold up to serious impacts. Pick this if you want one solid material throughout.
Hybrid (F-P): Aluminum skid plates with a 1/4" UHMW plastic layer on top. The plastic slides over rocks and logs easier than bare aluminum. A good middle ground for riders who see a mix of rocky and smooth terrain.
UHMW Belly Pan (F-U): The belly pan gets a thick 1/2" UHMW polyethylene skid plate instead of aluminum. UHMW is self-lubricating and glides smoothly over rocks and roots. The rest of the guards stay aluminum. Go this route if you're constantly running rocky or rooted terrain.
Black Powder Coat Finish
Add a black powder coat to make your guards stand out and get a finish that won't chip easily.
-
Visible Pieces (+$180) — Black coating on the front bash plate, A-arm guards, and rock sliders. Good choice if you're doing UHMW and want the aluminum parts matching in black.
-
Complete Kit (+$275) — Every piece gets coated — front bash plate, A-arm guards, rear linkage guards, rock sliders, and frame skids.
If you choose powder coat, add 1-2 weeks to the shipping time.
