Everything was great. I know shipping would be more but it would be worth it to have the skid plate all one piece. The joints worry me.

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.
Super easy install and contours perfectly to the trailing arms.
Quality components and fit, looks great.
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.
Excellent customer service. The Best . Thank you
