Q&A
Q: What vehicle is this skid plate designed for?
A: It fits the Ineos Grenadier (2023‑present), including both gasoline and diesel 4WD models.
Q: What material is it made from?
A: Heavy-duty 1/4-inch (6 mm) marine-grade aluminum alloy, offering strong impact resistance while keeping weight low.
Q: What does it protect?
A: The gas tank and underbody fuel system from rocks, debris, logs, and off-road impacts.
Q: Is drilling or modification required for installation?
A: No. It uses factory mounting points for a direct bolt-on, no-drill installation.
Q: Will it affect ground clearance or handling?
A: No — it is engineered to maintain factory ground clearance and preserve off-road capability.
Q: Are there any additional features?
A: Yes — it includes drainage and airflow holes to prevent mud, water, and debris buildup while managing heat.
Q: What finish does it have?
A: Durable polymer powder coating resists corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions.
Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect after off-road use: Check for dents, bends, cracks, or scrapes, especially around mounting points and edges.
-
Re-torque bolts regularly: After installation, re-check and tighten all fasteners after the first 250 miles, then periodically.
-
Clean thoroughly: Remove mud, sand, salt, and debris; ensure drainage holes are clear to prevent buildup.
-
Check for interference: Ensure the skid plate is not rubbing against fuel tank straps, exhaust, or other underbody components.
-
Monitor for finish damage: Treat scratches or compromised powder coating with a corrosion-resistant protective spray to maintain durability.
-
Inspect after significant impacts: After hitting rocks or obstacles, verify the plate is intact and properly aligned before further off-road use.
