Skid Plate & Guard Kit for Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 Northstar Edition (2018-2026)

What those letters mean: F is straight aluminum. F-P adds a 1/4" UHMW plastic layer on top of aluminum (hybrid). F-U is a 1/2" thick UHMW belly pan that replaces just the belly section — the rest stays aluminum.

Material Choices Explained

Aluminum (F): Full aluminum construction gives you a stiff, rigid kit that takes hard hits without flexing. Good all-around choice if you want one piece protecting everything and don't want to think about it twice.

Hybrid (F-P): Aluminum body with a 1/4" UHMW plastic top layer. The plastic slides over rocks and brush better than bare aluminum, so if you're bouncing between rocky sections and tight trees, this splits the difference nicely.

Half-Inch UHMW Belly Pan (F-U): Swaps out just the belly pan for a thick 1/2" polyethylene piece that's slippery and self-lubricating — great for trails with lots of rocks and roots. Your A-arm guards and other pieces stay aluminum. Pick this if you're primarily a trail rider dealing with gnarly undercarriage terrain.

Black Powder Coat Option

If you want it all in black instead of bare metal, we offer powder coat finishing:

• Visible Pieces (+$180): Covers the front bash plate, A-arm guards, and rock sliders.
• Entire Kit (+$275): Everything gets the black treatment — bash plate, A-arms, rear linkage guards, rock sliders, and frame skids.

If you choose powder coat, plan on waiting an extra week or two for it to ship.
