RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for TD DESC410R Series

By Matt On June 19, 2013 · Add Comment

The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for the Durango DESC410R series of trucks adds a level of protection unmatched by any other bumper presently available. The new one is wider than the stock, protecting sections of the lower wishbones and hinge pins normally left exposed. The RPM skid plate design has a shallower approach angle, coupled with three strategically placed skid rails along the front, allowing the front end of the truck to transition up and over impacted objects easily and with the least amount of friction possible. RPM skid plates are 20 per cent thicker than stock as well, yet reduce ground clearance by less than 1mm. The design of the RPM Front Skid Plate removes the stock bumper support ring from the truck, preventing frontal impacts from transferring impact energy into the front differential housing. This allows much more room for the bumper to absorb impact energy when that inevitable head-on collision occurs. By absorbing the impact, less energy is transferred into the chassis, protecting those more fragile internal components from damage. The RPM front bumper design not only looks awesome, it allows the use of RPM Light Canister sets (RPM #80982 or #80983) for those wanting to run LEDs in their front bumper for unlimited night time fun and scale looks. These items are moulded from RPM’s trademark blend of nylons for incredible durability and unmatched performance. Each package comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and instructions. Each kit is proudly designed and manufactured in the United States of America.
