Off-Road Armor Buyer Guide & Fitment Info
What off-road armor do I need?
Off-road armor is designed to protect your vehicle from trail damage and improve durability in rugged conditions. Common armor upgrades include bumpers, skid plates, rock sliders, tire carriers, and steps—each serving a different protection role.
Your needs depend on terrain, vehicle use, and how aggressively you drive off-road.
Front vs rear protection
- Front armor (front bumpers, grille guards) improves approach angle and provides mounting points for recovery gear and lighting.
Rear armor (rear bumpers, tire carriers) enhances departure angle, protects the rear body, and supports larger spare tires.
Matched front and rear setups offer balanced protection and consistent fitment.
Skid plates & underbody protection
Skid plates shield critical components from rocks, stumps, and trail obstacles. Common coverage areas include the engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank.
Underbody protection is especially important on technical trails and vehicles with increased ride height.
Rock sliders, steps & vehicle access
- Rock sliders protect rocker panels and support vehicle weight when sliding over obstacles.
Steps and running boards improve entry and exit while offering varying levels of trail durability.
Choose components based on clearance needs and how often the vehicle sees trail use.
Tire carriers & added weight considerations
Larger tires and armor add weight to the vehicle. Tire carriers and reinforced mounting systems are designed to safely support oversized spares without stressing factory mounts.
Suspension upgrades may be recommended when adding significant armor weight.
Fitment, installation & compatibility
Armor components are highly vehicle-specific and often require compatible mounting points or bumpers. Some installations may involve drilling or cutting, while others are fully bolt-on.
Always verify vehicle year, model, trim, and accessory compatibility before purchasing.
