Take a look under your RZR, RZR-S OR RZR-4 and you'll see that the rear half of the fuel tank is totally unprotected! It only takes one rock or stick to damage the fuel tank, which can leave you stranded. To make things even worse, you'll end up paying over $400.00 for a new fuel tank once you get home.

When Thunderhawk Performance developed our RZR Fuel Tank Armor in late 2007, we didn't cut corners. The actual design of the Thunderhawk RZR Fuel Tank Armor, the materials and the mounting methods were all chosen for maximum protection, strength and durability. This proven design provides the best protection available.

The Thunderhawk Performance RZR Fuel Tank Armor is a full-height design. The top portion of this skid plate stops rocks and mud from entering and becoming lodged between the skid plate and the fuel tank, which can lead to abrasion damage and fuel tank punctures. This extended top portion also functions as an exhaust heat shield, eliminating the need to buy a separate heat shield. Thunderhawk designed the RZR Fuel Tank Armor to provide maximum clearance between the skid plate and fuel tank while also providing maximum clearance with the rear tire. The Thunderhawk design also matches the RZR's body lines for a factory-installed appearance, so theres not a square aluminum box hanging into the wheel opening. By providing a large air-gap between the skid plate and the fuel tank, any rocks that may manage to enter are able to fall to the bottom where they should not do any damage. This design also makes clean-out much easier after a muddy ride.

Thunderhawk Performance selected 1/8" thick aircraft-grade aluminum for their RZR Fuel Tank Armor. This is regular skid plate material, not soft, thin-gauge aluminum, so it will not bend easily. The lower portion of this skid plate is mounted to the frame using a steel bracket. This steel bracket provides superior strength by supporting the aluminum skid plate and distributing the load evenly to the frame. The upper portion of this skid plate attaches to the vertical frame tube using multiple screws to significantly increase the mounting strength.

This item is designed to fit with the stock Polaris skid plates as well as most aftermarket skid plates. Thunderhawk Performance has also updated our proven design so that it now fits with the popular Polaris Rock-Slider nerf bars.

The Thunderhawk Performance RZR Fuel Tank Armor installs easily in about 20 minutes. This is a complete kit including the fuel tank skid plate, mounting bracket, all necessary hardware and illustrated instructions. Made in USA.
