Maintenance Tips

• Inspect after every off-road drive: Look for dents, scrapes, or cracks—especially where the plate mounts to the frame or underbody.

• Re-torque fasteners regularly: After the first 100 miles and then every 3–6 months of use, re-check and tighten all bolts to factory‑specs to prevent loosening.

• Clean off dirt, mud, and salt: Rinse thoroughly after off‑road or winter use; ensure complete drying to avoid corrosion or buildup.

• Watch for contact with suspension or exhaust components: After rough terrain, verify no rubbing, deformation, or interference with nearby parts.

• Check for hidden fluid leaks: Since skid plates cover much of the underside, inspect edges for signs of oil, coolant, or other fluid leaks.

• Address surface damage promptly: If the aluminum gets scratched or the protective finish is compromised, treat with a corrosion‑resistant sealant or coating to prolong lifespan.
