The Primitive Racing Front Skid Plate is a rally-proven armor solution dedicated to shielding the most vulnerable engine components of the 18-26 Subaru Crosstrek and Wilderness. Fabricated from rugged 3/16" 5052 aluminum, this plate replaces the flimsy factory plastic splash guard with a rigid shield capable of deflected rocks, stumps, and highway debris. It is a foundational upgrade for any overland Subaru build, featuring an up-turned rear edge that prevents the plate from snagging when reversing over obstacles. As a must-have Subaru accessory for trail enthusiasts, it maintains critical ground clearance while offering optional oil-hole cutouts for mess-free maintenance, ensuring your off road Subaru is prepared for the most primitive conditions.
