RCI Metalworks Warranty
At a glance: Lifetime structural warranty for the original purchaser; 180 days on powder coat

Coverage by product

- RCI repairs or replaces the part at its discretion after inspecting it
What's not covered
- Improper installation, alteration, abuse, neglect or accidents
- Corrosion and normal wear
- Off-road damage (with some exceptions RCI decides case by case)
- Freight, labor, installation or downtime costs
- Hook marks from hanging parts for coating, unless the finish fails
How to make an RCI warranty claim

Disclaimer: The information on this page describes RCI Metalworks' own warranty policy. It is not a warranty offered by NVMOS (No Visible Means of Support LLC). Manufacturers update their terms at any time; we review these pages periodically, but the manufacturer's current official policy is the one that applies to your claim.

This RCI engine skid plate covers the EPAS power steering unit, front differential, front cross-member, engine and engine bay, intercooler and lower control arm mounts on the 2024-present Ranger. It has six mounting points on OEM frame brackets, so it does not interfere with bumpers or winches.
The two-piece design allows subsections to be removed for maintenance, and a cutout gives access to the oil drain plug. The smooth, flat underside slides over obstacles.
Fitment
RCI confirms fitment on the 2024+ Ranger Raptor and Lariat, and suspects it fits the XLT and other trims. It may not be compatible with all 4" or taller lift kits.
Options and weight
3/16" steel with black epoxy powder coating weighs 53 lbs. 1/4" aluminum weighs 22 lbs and comes bare or powder coated.
Install notes
It bolts directly to factory attachment points, no drilling, with a hardware kit included. Made in the USA.
Questions before you order?
Fitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships. Call or text Carl & Anton at (920) 249-7744 or use the chat — real humans in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, not a call center.
