Trail Armor Kawasaki Ridge Crew Skid Plates (2026)

Trail Armor full skid plates cover the 2026 Kawasaki Ridge Crew full length and full width, front differential, rear differential, frame rails and belly pan, in 1/2 in. Super Tough polymer with a smooth surface built to slide over rocks. Integrated side skids extend the coverage to the lower body panels.

The Ridge Crew is long, and long machines high-center. This Kawasaki Ridge Crew skid plate system puts a smooth, continuous polymer surface under the whole machine, with pre-cut access holes for oil changes and panels that come off one at a time, so routine service does not mean pulling the whole set.

Key Features

• Full-length, full-width coverage of the front diff, rear diff, frame rails and belly pan
• Integrated side skids help protect the lower body panels
• 1/2 in. Super Tough polymer that absorbs hits without denting, galling or corroding
• Smooth sliding surface for clearing rocks and obstacles
• Recessed mounting holes protect fasteners from impacts
• Pre-cut service access holes and drain openings; individual panels remove independently

Built To Solve: High-Centering and Underbody Hits on the Long Ridge Crew

• Rock strikes on the front and rear differentials
• A long wheelbase dragging frame rails and the belly over ledges
• Exposed lower body panels taking hits from the side
• Skids that trap mud or have to come off completely for an oil change

• Riders who want serviceable skids with oil-change access

FAQ

What does the Trail Armor Ridge Crew full skid plate cover?

Full length and full width: the front differential, rear differential, frame rails and belly pan, plus integrated side skids for the lower body panels.

Can I change the oil without removing the Trail Armor Ridge Crew skids?

Yes. Pre-cut access holes allow oil changes and routine maintenance, and individual panels can be removed on their own when you need deeper access.

Does it fit the 2025 Ridge Crew?

Trail Armor's listing title names the 2026 Ridge Crew. Its description also mentions 2025, so confirm with us before ordering for a 2025 machine.

Are the A-arm guards in the photos included?

No. A-arm guards shown in the images are sold separately.

Is drilling required to install?

Self-drilling fasteners are required for installation, and some OEM fasteners may be reused. A mounting hardware kit and photo-documented instructions are included.

Is a polymer UTV skid plate better than aluminum?

Trail Armor's polymer skids are lighter than aluminum systems and absorb hits without denting, galling or corroding, and the smooth surface is built to slide over rocks and obstacles.

Why Trail Armor

Trail Armor skid plates are full-coverage systems: each UTV full skid plate set is cut from 1/2 in. Super Tough polymer, with modular panels, recessed hardware and service access designed in, so the protection stays on the machine through routine maintenance.

Complete Your Kawasaki Ridge Crew Protection Setup

Confirm your Ridge Crew model year and edition, then choose your color, remembering colors other than black are special order and non-returnable. Most owners add Trail Armor A-arm guards at the same time, since the skids give Kawasaki Ridge Crew underbody protection but do not cover the suspension arms.
