Maximum Protection for the Ineos Grenadier with RIVAL Skid Plates
At our Szekla4x4.pl workshop, we had the pleasure of installing a full set of RIVAL skid plates on the 2023 Ineos Grenadier. This experience allowed us to not only assess the quality and functionality of these products but also to test them in real-world conditions. We’d like to share our insights and the benefits of this upgrade.
Why Invest in Skid Plates?
The underbody of an off-road vehicle is constantly exposed to various threats when driving in rough terrain. Rocks, tree roots, uneven ground, and other obstacles can cause serious damage to critical components like the engine, transmission, or fuel system. Such damage can lead to expensive repairs or leave the vehicle immobilized in the middle of an adventure. That’s why protecting the undercarriage with durable skid plates is essential for anyone who wants to fully enjoy off-road travel without worry.
What Makes RIVAL Skid Plates Stand Out?
RIVAL skid plates are top-tier products trusted by off-road enthusiasts around the world. Made from deeply stamped 6 mm thick aluminum alloy, they combine lightweight construction with exceptional strength. Thanks to precision laser cutting, each plate is perfectly tailored to the vehicle model, ensuring complete protection of vital underbody components.
Key Features of RIVAL Skid Plates:
- Durability: Hidden mounting points reduce the risk of catching on obstacles, and reinforced ribs provide extra rigidity.
- Lightweight: Up to 30% lighter than comparable steel plates, reducing vehicle weight and improving performance.
- Corrosion Resistance: Made from marine-grade aluminum and coated with zinc primer and powder coating for long-term protection against oxidation.
- Functionality: Drain holes and vent slots ensure airflow and help keep debris and water out.
- Easy Maintenance: Built-in service ports allow for oil changes and other maintenance without removing the plates.
- Simple Installation: No drilling required—installation uses factory mounting points.
Installation Process at Szekla4x4.pl
The installation of RIVAL skid plates in our workshop went smoothly. Thanks to the precise design and perfect fit for the Ineos Grenadier, no vehicle modifications were needed. Using the factory mounting points, we were able to securely install the entire set quickly and efficiently, providing full underbody protection.
Real-World Testing
After the installation, we took the vehicle out for some off-road testing. The Ineos Grenadier equipped with RIVAL skid plates performed flawlessly on rocky trails, muddy roads, and while tackling terrain obstacles. The plates effectively protected the underbody from impacts and damage, while their lightweight construction didn’t negatively impact driving dynamics or fuel efficiency.
Final Thoughts
Investing in RIVAL skid plates is a smart move for any Ineos Grenadier owner who wants to ensure maximum protection during off-road adventures. The combination of premium build quality, durability, low weight, and easy installation makes them a reliable choice for demanding terrain.
