Trail Armor Skid Plate | 2016-23 Can-Am Defender HD Models Trail Armor

Trail Armor Skid Plates | 2016-23 Can-Am Defender HD8 / HD9 / HD10 

Upgrade your vehicle’s undercarriage protection with Trail Armor’s comprehensive skid plate set designed specifically for the Can-Am Defender HD5, Defender HD7, Defender HD8, Defender HD9, Defender HD10, Defender X MR, Defender DPS, Defender DPS CAB, Defender XT, Defender XT CAB, Defender Mossy Oak Hunt, and Defender XT-P models. Crafted from our proprietary blend of ultra-high molecular weight polymer, these 1/2″ plastic skids offer superior performance over traditional metal or aluminum alternatives. Not only are they lighter (see specs below), but they also possess no “impact memory,” meaning they absorb shocks without denting, galling, or corroding like metal or aluminum skids.

Trail Armor takes pride in being an industry pioneer by incorporating formed leading edges on our skid plates. These leading edges safeguard vulnerable frame edges and wheel wells from blunt edge impacts while acting as a starting point for sliding over obstacles, reducing resistance and drag commonly associated with metal skid plates. Furthermore, our skids extend beyond the bottom of the factory rocker panel, ensuring comprehensive protection for this susceptible part of your vehicle.

Installation is a breeze with Trail Armor’s skid plates, which come in easy-to-install panels that cover the entire length and breadth of your vehicle, including the front and rear differential. Access holes for service points and oil drains facilitate maintenance tasks. Strategically placed drain holes allow for easy cleaning, without the need to remove the skid plates entirely. Should the need arise, individual panels can be removed to access specific areas without uninstalling the entire skid plate.

Our skid plates feature recessed mounting holes, providing protection to fasteners against damaging impacts and ensuring that bolt heads do not protrude from the skid’s surface. Each kit is accompanied by corrosion-resistant hardware and comprehensive, photo-documented installation instructions. Installation videos, when available, can be found on our website’s YouTube channel.
