ALMONT4WD Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor Full Underbody Plate Kit - Skid Plate Protection System

ALMONT4WD Full Underbody Protection for the Next-Gen Ranger Raptor

The ALMONT4WD Full Underbody Plate Kit is a vehicle-specific skid plate protection system for the Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 petrol, 2022 onwards. It is made for Raptor owners preparing for rocky lanes, deep ruts, forestry tracks, overland trips and demanding off-road use where vulnerable underside components need more than a single guard.

The main advantage of the full kit is coverage. Rather than protecting only the front, fuel tank or driveline area, this ALMONT4WD underbody armour package brings the key Ranger Raptor protection zones together for a more complete off-road setup.

What This Ranger Raptor Skid Plate Kit Helps Protect

Underbody contact can come from rocks, stumps, ledges, washouts and trail debris. A single strike in the wrong place can damage cooling components, driveline parts, fuel tank areas, differential housings or suspension sensor locations. This kit helps shield those exposed areas so the truck is better prepared for off-road travel.

The kit is designed around the Next-Gen Ranger Raptor platform and covers the following protection areas:

• Front underside protection for the radiator and A/C condenser area
• Front differential and steering gearbox protection
• Engine and front transmission protection
• Gearbox and transfer case protection
• Fuel tank and associated fuel line protection area
• Rear differential protection
• Rear shock absorber sensor protection areas

For drivers comparing individual sections, the ALMONT4WD Ranger Raptor front skid plate and ALMONT4WD Ranger Raptor gearbox and transfer skid plate are useful reference points within the same armour family.

Why Underbody Armour Matters Off Road

The Ranger Raptor is capable on rough ground, but the underside is still exposed when the vehicle drops into ruts, crests obstacles or drags over uneven terrain. Sharp rocks and compressed trail debris can create localised impacts that road-biased protection is not designed to handle.

ALMONT4WD skid plates help create a physical barrier between the terrain and the vehicle underside. The plates are intended to shield and deflect contact, reducing the likelihood of damage that could end a trip early or create expensive repairs after an off-road day.

Who Should Choose the Full Underbody Plate Kit

This full kit is best suited to owners who want broad underbody protection in one package, rather than building a system one plate at a time.

• Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor owners using the 3.0 V6 petrol platform from 2022 onwards
• Off-road drivers tackling rocky, rutted or forested routes
• Expedition and overland builds where underside protection is a priority
• Drivers who want coordinated front, centre and rear underbody armour
• Customers upgrading beyond single-point protection for tougher trail use

If your build only needs one vulnerable area protected, individual ALMONT4WD options such as the standard Ranger Raptor fuel tank skid plate or Ranger Raptor rear differential skid plate may be the more focused choice.

Fitment and Kit Selection Notes

This ALMONT4WD protection kit is for the Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 petrol platform, 2022 onwards. The Next-Gen Raptor uses Raptor-specific chassis and suspension hardware, so underbody protection should not be selected using standard Ranger assumptions.

Check your vehicle model, year and specification before ordering, especially if the vehicle is an import or if other fuel tank, suspension or underbody modifications have already been fitted. If you are unsure which ALMONT4WD plate arrangement suits your Ranger Raptor, contact Hoonies Adrenaline before purchase.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Use Considerations

Most of the kit is designed for no-drill installation, using the supplied mounting hardware and fitting instructions. The rear differential and rear shock absorber protection components require TIG welding, so professional installation is recommended for those sections.

After heavy off-road use, inspect the protection plates and mounting points for impact marks, trapped debris and fastener security. Skid plates are working armour; checking them regularly helps you spot damage early and keep the underbody protection system doing its job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does this ALMONT4WD underbody kit fit?

It is for the Ford Next-Gen Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 petrol, 2022 onwards. It should not be chosen for earlier Ranger or non-Raptor models unless compatibility has been checked first.

Is this a full kit or a single skid plate?

This is the full ALMONT4WD underbody plate kit, intended to cover multiple key protection zones including front underside, driveline, fuel tank, rear differential and rear shock absorber sensor areas.

Is welding required?

Yes, for specific sections. Most plates are no-drill, but the rear differential and rear shock absorber protection components require TIG welding, so a professional installer is recommended.

What material is used?

The kit uses certified Duralumin / Duraluminium AW5083 H111, a material specified by ALMONT4WD for these Ranger Raptor skid plate applications.

Can I buy individual plates instead of the full kit?

Yes. If you only need to protect one area, individual ALMONT4WD plates are available within the Ranger Raptor range. The full kit is the stronger choice when you want broad underbody coverage in one package.

Will underbody armour prevent all damage?

No underbody protection can remove every risk, especially in severe impacts or poor line choice. The purpose of the skid plate system is to help shield vulnerable areas and reduce damage risk during off-road driving.
