The ALMONT4WD Rear Differential Skid Plate is a dedicated underbody protection plate for Ford Ranger Raptor owners preparing their 4x4 for rocks, ruts, trail debris and expedition use. It adds targeted armour around the rear differential, helping reduce the risk of impact damage to one of the most exposed drivetrain areas when the vehicle is used off road.
Made in the ALMONT4WD Heavy Duty 8 mm range from certified Duralumin AW5083 H111, this rear differential skid plate is designed for drivers who want focused protection rather than a cosmetic accessory. The product family is intended for demanding 4x4 use, including long-distance continental trips and semi-sports off-road driving.
On uneven ground, the rear differential can be exposed to direct hits from ledges, rocks, deep ruts and debris thrown up underneath the vehicle. A differential impact can quickly turn an off-road trip into an expensive recovery or repair job.
The skid plate sits as a protective barrier around the rear differential area, helping take and deflect contact before it reaches the vulnerable housing. For Ranger Raptor drivers who use their vehicle beyond normal road driving, it is a practical upgrade that focuses on a specific high-risk point rather than adding cover to an unrelated area.
Select the vehicle option that matches your Ranger Raptor. Available options are Next Gen Raptor - 3.0L Petrol, Next Gen Raptor - 2.0L Diesel 2022+, and Ranger Raptor 2019-2022. Non-Raptor Ranger applications are outside the stated fitment.
This is not the same part as a front skid plate, fuel tank plate or gearbox and transfer plate. It is the rear differential protection piece, so it suits buyers who are specifically trying to protect the rear axle and differential area.
If you are protecting the vehicle in sections, this rear differential plate works as part of a wider ALMONT4WD underbody armour plan. Many owners start by covering the most exposed low points, then add protection in the order that matches their terrain and budget.
For front-end impact coverage, compare it with the ALMONT4WD Ranger Raptor front skid plate. To protect central drivetrain components, look at the ALMONT4WD gearbox and transfer skid plate.
Fuel tank protection is a separate decision point. The ALMONT4WD standard fuel tank skid plate suits buyers protecting the tank area, while the ALMONT4WD full underbody plate kit is the route to consider when you want a wider skid plate system in one package.
The skid plate uses certified Duralumin AW5083 H111, with an 8 mm thickness and a confirmed product weight of 4.1 kg. ALMONT4WD identifies this alloy as AW5083 H111 - DIN 1712-1725 AlMg4.5Mn0.7 from certified ALCOA ALLOY / AMAG Austria Metal AG material.
Installation requires TIG welding points to weld the support to the differential. This is an important buying consideration: plan the fitting before ordering, and use a competent installer with suitable TIG welding capability. The package is listed with the purchased protection, corresponding steel supports for anchoring, pre-installed screws, a certificate-instruction manual and one sticker.

It is designed to protect the rear differential area from trail impacts, rocks, ruts and underbody debris during off-road driving.
No. Installation requires TIG welding points to weld the support to the differential, so fitting should be planned with a suitably equipped installer.
The available vehicle options are Next Gen Raptor - 3.0L Petrol, Next Gen Raptor - 2.0L Diesel 2022+, and Ranger Raptor 2019-2022.
The skid plate is made from certified Duralumin AW5083 H111 in an 8 mm Heavy Duty range, with a confirmed product weight of 4.1 kg.
This part protects the rear differential area only. For wider coverage, combine it with separate front, gearbox, transfer and fuel tank skid plates, or consider the full ALMONT4WD underbody plate kit.
This plate focuses on the rear differential. A rear shock absorber skid plate protects a different rear suspension area, so the right choice depends on which part of the vehicle you are trying to protect first.
