My truck is a standard XLT, non-FX4, so despite there being a lot of available skid plate options for the powertrain the one I haven't really seen available was a radiator skid. Since Ford thinks they're made of gold and since I have already installed the rest of the @RIVAL 4x4 skids on my truck I was quite happy when they made their radiator skid available in the US. Since I've made install videos for all of their other options I figured I might as well complete the package.
This is definitely one of the easiest of their skids to install and would likely be even easier if you were only installing it. I did have to loosen my engine skid and shift its position slightly and I had to flex the factory front mounts slightly to get the bolts started but everything went together smoothly and clamped up properly.
For anyone interested, my install video post for the Engine Skid can be found here
