Description
Frame Skid Plate Set — Textron / Arctic Cat Alterra 500
Your Alterra 500 works hard and doesn't cost a fortune — so protect that investment. Rocks, roots, and stumps can tear up your frame and undercarriage fast. This frame skid plate set bolts right on and shields your whole underbody, keeping you riding instead of fixing.
What You're Getting
- Complete frame coverage with built-in floorboard and front bash plate protection
- All bolts and brackets needed — nothing extra to hunt down
Material Options
- 3/16" 5052-H32 Aluminum: Solid, proven metal that takes hits and keeps working. Most riders go this route.
- 3/16" Aluminum + 1/4" UHMW Overlay: Adds a tougher plastic layer on top for extra cushion when you're bouncing off big obstacles.
Fits What
- Textron / Arctic Cat Alterra 500 (2018–2023)
Black Powder Coat — Optional Add-On
Want it to look sharp instead of shiny aluminum? You can get a black powder coat finish. Two ways to do it:
- Front Bash Plate Only ($20): Just the front plate gets the black look
- Everything Black ($90): Bash plate and all frame skids coated
If you pick powder coat, tack on 1 to 2 extra weeks for shipping while it gets finished.
Made in the USA
