DIY Dodge Ram Skid Plate Build — Plasma Cutting, Bead Rolling & Full Install
In this build, we take our 2017 Dodge Ram 5.7 HEMI to the next level with a fully custom fabricated front skid plate and heavy-duty bumper setup built right here at RTILLERY’s Fab & Off-Road Shop. From raw steel to finished install, we walk through the fabrication process step-by-step — measuring, cutting, shaping, drilling, test fitting, welding, and final assembly to create a skid plate tough enough for real off-road abuse.
This wasn’t a bolt-on kit… this was BUILT, not bought.
We ran into fitment challenges, clearance issues, and plenty of fabrication work along the way, but that’s what custom fab is all about. Watch as we transform sheet steel into a functional off-road armor setup that protects the front end while keeping an aggressive custom look.
At RTILLERY’s Fab & Off-Road Shop, we’re all about building custom off-road parts, DIY fabrication projects, truck upgrades, Jeep builds, tool projects, and real garage-built solutions that save money and perform on the trail. Whether it’s trucks, Jeeps, fabrication tools, off-road armor, or custom metal work — we build it ourselves and show the entire process.
