Whether you’re taking your Raptor through the trails over the dunes or to the office added protection is always a benefit. While the Raptor comes from the factory with a front skid plate it still leaves all the components on the underside of your engine bay such as your oil pan cross member and front differential vulnerable to damage. Added protection is just as important on the highway as it is on the trail. With the Borne Off-Road Engine Skid Plate installed you can be confident that all those important bits are safe and protected. Designed to be tough as nails the Borne Off-Road Engine Skid Plate is constructed from 5/32-inch plate steel and is ready to take whatever abuse you can to throw at it. Additional mounting points have been added to provide superior strength and those mounting points are all recessed to provide a smooth bottom surface. This eliminates the potential to shear off or get hardware caught on obstacles. All corners and edges are bent at 80-degrees and reinforced to provide even greater strength. To ensure a long-lasting and durable finish they are first electroplated via electro-galvanization and then powder coated black. This skid plate is designed to be a direct fit and installation should take less than an hour with basic hand tools.
