Typically when all the skid plates are in stock and available we will offer them as a package. The way things are going at the moment we receive inventory and sell out of individual skid plates before we can do so.
Funny that you mention the bumper. After several delays in shipping we received the Australian spec front bumper for test fitment on our Raptor today ?.
We hope to have that installed by the end of next week.
We have a limited batch of skid plates set to arrive to our warehouse by 12/30 for the Ranger & Ranger Raptor.
We will be opening up our website for pre-orders until they are sold out.

There are openings in all our skid plates to allow water to escape. If you look at many OEM skids they are designed in a similar fashion. We actually work with OE Manufactures to develop and test products for their vehicles with many of the same thoughts in mind.

Sorry for the confusion everyone. We are constantly working on updating our instructions.
Factory plastic “skid” plate stays in place, ours goes over it.
We have a few in stock but they are shipping outside the US market. We found that the 4 factory bolt holes used to secure the roof rack are slightly smaller on the US Rangers we have tested.
On our Ranger we drilled the holes one size larger, but to avoid that for our US customers we are...
It’s definitely time consuming. We did not have to fully remove the headliner to install, but A,B, & C pillar plastics need to come off to allow the headliner to droop far enough to access the nuts holding the factory trim pieces.
We have done this enough on other vehicles that it wasn’t a...
We installed a set of 2.5” Perch Collars to level the front. We are anticipating with the weight of the winch it will bring the front down to the 2” we originally wanted.
While we were at it we also test fit our Ranger Roof rack. There are some minor changes required for it to fit the US...
Thanks!
US specific skid plates for those you mentioned are in que for production.
Thanks again for the input and helping us bring these to the US market!
We will be test fitting the Australian spec front bumper on our Ranger Raptor soon. If no changes need to be made we will be bringing...
Do you have a base or lariat Ford Ranger in the Houston area?(Non FX4)
If so, we could use your truck for development of our aluminum radiator skid plate.
In exchange we will give you a production version once available.
PM us for details, you are welcome to wait while we scan and take the...
We appreciate the concern, but we have sold hundreds of these skid plates worldwide and to date have not had one issue with a punctured fuel tank.
We are constantly improving on our products. Some improvements are due to changes from the manufacturer and some are from customer feedback during...
We have the engine and fuel tank skids in stock for the FX4. We are working on getting the transmission and transfer case skids into production in the near future.

I’m sorry you had that issue. We have since revised the skid plate so...
