Don't let insurance and a thin, flimsy OEM skid be your first line of defense. An SSS Offroad skid plate will give you the peace of mind you want for your KRX 1000.
We offer the best protection, material, and fit. This comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty that only a made in the USA company would offer.
- Material. UHMW skid plates are slickest and most abrasion resistant plastic available. They also can absorb big impacts. Don't settle for imposter plastic, it either is UHMW or it is NOT.
- Thickness. 3/8ths inch give you the optimal protection you need without adding unnecessary weight or cost. This thickness wins in the toughest terrain - driven by King of Hammers winners and finishers
- Lap joints. Our miter lap joints create flush overlapping panels with a near seamless finish. We reduce catch points and don't use high risk butt joints!
- Pieces. Our KRX skid plate has 1 massive main panel reducing the chance of catching or tearing off.
- Rock Sliders. Snug fit between the rocker and the machine. It forms to the angle of the machine, not the machine that bent it. Option to be have the rockers built into the skid skid plate. Metal = catches vs UHMW = slides
- Easy and Fast Install. No tapping required and we reuse all available factory holes. Avoid drilling and taping 30+ holes like other brands
-
Premium Hardware. Our custom made fasteners are fine threaded screws that automatically tap pre-drilled holes and custom made steel cup washers provide extra protection during the hardest impacts. Our fasteners use the best corrosion resistant coating available.
- Fine threaded screws allow for the strongest frame connection because UTV frame tubing is very thin
- Maintenance. We include essential drain and maintenance holes. If an area is serviced less than once a year, we do not include it and recommend removing the panel to clean and service.

UHMW FAQs
What is UHMW?
UHMW-PE stands for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polythene.
High Impact Strength
- Absorbs impacts
- Bounces back to original shape
Extremely Quiet
Significantly dampens impact noise
Self Lubricating/High Abrasion Resistance
- Easily slide over rocks and logs
- Outwears carbon steel 10:1, great for sand
Light-Weight
- Lighter than aluminum
- Very similar weight to HDPE (Factory/OEM material)
Why is our material the better than others?
We only supply genuine American made UHMW-PE.
We believe some products pose as UHMW based but are not made from UHMW. Some material descriptions that we believe you should be aware of are:
- "Proprietary blend of UHMW" (most likely HDPE or HMW)
- HMW (less than 10x the molecular weight of UHMW)
- ARMW (most likely HMW)
Which UHMW material thickness should I choose?
3/8th inch UHMW is the best material thickness for nearly all riders.
- 1/8th inch won't allow for a flat finish, hardware or lap joints
- 1/2 inch adds unnecessary weight, doesn't add meaningful upgrade in protection
Why we don't use colored UHMW?
UHMW colors are very limited and primarily used for utility applications, not cosmetic applications. This means that color shades can have significant variations from sheet-to-sheet and will not be matched to a specific Pantone (color matching system). If you have seen cool colored plastics, they are most likely not UHMW because of the inability to color match.
Strength of UHMW vs other plastics?
UHMW has more than 10x the molecular weight than it's little brother HMW (some might call it ARMW). This is what gives UHMW it's superior impact strength, abrasion resistance, stress/crack resistance, and more! This makes it very important to prioritize material type/authenticity over material thickness.
Why factory skids don't cut it?
- Most Factory/OEM skids provide minimal protection
- Factory skids are made with plastic that easily cracks, punctures, or breaks
- Too Thin or Too Thick
- Too many needless holes add snag points
