FX4 skid plate question

[TN Ranger]

Does the FX4 skid plates protect lower control arm mounts? I kinda hit mine last weekend. Well not kinda I did.

Be curious to see if any of the aftermarket ones are better at protecting this area

Me too. It was real muddy and tried to avoid the big ones but slid in a rut and all I could do is pedal through. Haha that rhymes.

TN exile here - From the rocks I am guessing you're in the eastern 1/3 of the state?

It doesn't...and if you're hitting the pivot, where the camber adjustment cam is, you might want to check your alignment...also, the lower arm is even more vulnerable...always better to drive over the rocks with your tires if possible...

Yes sir. South Pittsburgh TN. Adventure offroad park. It was raining and muddy as crap. Made things way more difficult than should have been

Boy was I trying to. Mud and rain put me in some ruts that were too deep for 32 inch tires. It was be stuck or just give it hell. As you can tell I chose the latter haha. Oh yeah paid for the lifetime alignment at Firestone and already have an appointment to drop it off Friday.
