I have a 2024 Lariat Sport 4x4 2.7with the plastic engine skid plate. 6 - 15mm bolts, front 2 are slotted, 4 have to be removed to drop the skid plate. Does anyone know what the torque specs are on these bolts? They are pretty tight and it even appears to have blue Lok -Tite on the threads from the factory…. Seems like a bit much for a plastic skid plate?
Also wanted to thank the admin for adding me! Any insight is much appreciated…. Thanks!

35Nm or 26ft-lb is the factory spec for the steel skid plates. I just installed the Rival aluminum skids on my non-FX4 and was able to achieve that spec even with the plastic front piece in place.
