The product fit like a glove. Extremely happy with the product.
Thicker than other brands. Easy installation.
Great product and easy to install. Good to have this protection to match the rear armor guards.
High quality product.
Word to the wise: install these before you beat the bottom of your SXS up. Bolt holes are easy to bend and stock bolts are easily torn up on rocks. Otherwise this is a breeze to install, can’t speak highly enough of the quality of these parts
Easy install. Good directions and all parts needed were included.

Got these for my 2026 Xpedition. Everything fit great except for the 2 front bolts under the wench (example picture 14 on the instruction page). Trail Armor provided 2 3/8 inch self tapping bolts, they were a bit to small to tap in the holes on the 2026 model. Easy fix i installed 2 1/2 inch bolts and nuts with flat washers. The 3/8 bolts that they provided would have worked if i would have had the nuts to screw on them. Great product and great customer service.
Easy install, great fit and much easier cleaning
Skid plate precut mounting holes lined up very well to frame. I had to do some trimming on the front outer corners to clear my tubular rock sliders. Also trimmed a half inch to a taper on the left outer edge to relieve some interference to the left tubular rock slider. I replaced the front 5/16x 3” bolts to 5/16 x 3 1/4” bolts to ease installation. Also trimmed the leading and trailing edges to front and rear skid plates to a 45 degree taper to create a ramp should it contact any obstacle straight on. My modifications weren’t necessarily required if it wasn’t for my preexisting rock sliders. The taper to front and rear edges was just a personal touch to avoid shear effect should it make contact straight on a solid object. I have not had it on the trail yet for a test drive. However, I’m confident it will be a great improvement over the flimsy busted stick plates.
