Front OEM Compatible Skid Plate 4th Gen RAM
Looks awesome and install was a breeze…thank you.
The plate and finish were great.
The picture and install instructions were not helpful and two of the small rear attachment bolts did not fit factory drilled holes and required me to tap for proper attachment.
Great pice of steel with a nice paint finish.
The hole for the sensor bezels slightly big they can’t stay in the hole they come out and my sensors not working and they did before, and the hardware provided for the light bars don’t work the opening in the mounting is to big for the washer on the lights kit, other than that the bumper fit perfect on my limited 2022 and the lights bar are working .
Great product and the instructions on YouTube is very easy to follow.
Would have given it 5 stars but I had to install a diode to stop power from back feeding to my sPOD every time I went into reverse, causing a fault that I had to clear each time. Works perfectly now!
well made, precision cut and fit 👍
Overall I think this is a great product for that niche group that wants to keep the oem look but improve capability. The part itself is well-machined, powder coat looks great, and easy bolt-on installation. My personal gripes: The flange bolt/nuts seemed to small for the holes in the front area of the skid plate, which prompted me to get washers to give me piece of mind that the bolt/nuts wouldn’t pull through the skid plate itself. Additionally, there was no locking mechanism for the front bolts/nuts (probably not a big deal) so I went ahead and bought nylon lock nuts for the peace of mind. Again, probably not an issue for some, but for me, I wanted a robust skid plate that I knew wouldn’t budge over repeated abuse. Lastly, it is quite expensive. I understand the added cost of free international shipping and whatnot, and the fact that this is the only product aimed towards oem non rebel 5th gens, But similar products like the RCI skid plate include the engine skid plate as well as the steering skid plate for a lower cost. Again, this is the only product of its kind with free international shipping, so I can understand the price from that point. Would I buy it again? Yeah, but I think the inclusion of washers and lock nuts for the front bolts would be necessary from a piece of mind standpoint personally.
