Truck Hardware Skid Plates

Item arrived in a heavy duty type garbage bag (no padding-nothing), which surprised me....  None-the-less, it was not scratched or bent in anyway, and bolts and hardware made it intact. Plate is super thick and tough. This is my 2nd unit for a new truck.  The new design installs much, much easier than the older model.  Had it in under an hour.    This plate is a NO BRAINER to protect your plastic tranny pan, oil pan and filter and most of your front critical components!

Installed this skid plate on my 2019 F350 Superduty Diesel after smashing my transmission oil pan. Instructions were clear and it bolted right up. A little tricky getting the front bolts but not a big deal. This thing fits great and looks awesome. Money well spent!

Was pretty easy install on my 2021 F250, except the self threading screw took a while to catch but got it done fairly quickly.

easy installation beefy skid plate

With the increase in catalytic converter thefts, I wanted the extra "peace of mind" that this product gives.

The Shield for my 2020 F350 Diesel looks to be very solid and sturdy.  I wanted some “peace of mind” due to the increase of catalytic converter thefts.  This product appears to fit the bill.

The hardware it great.  The design is nice and the welds are well done, but short of beautiful.  There needs to be a second rubber bumper on the drivers side.  I cut and installed a piece of rubber as the plate vibrates against the cross member if you don’t.  The major rub is the directions.  Good directions list the tools you will need so you can lay everything out prior to starting; great directions are detailed about the tools, saying things like,”deep sockets, and step drill bit” These directions have none of that.  The order of operations in the directions is also very poorly done.  The easiest way I found to install the front bolts is from the inside sticking out.  The diagram attempts to show this badly, but it is not written in the directions.  The second to last step of install, after the whole assembly is fully tightened down is, “Insert the rubber bumper FROM THE TOP DOWN on the skid plate.”  Guess what, you can’t, because it is tightened down.  This should be step 1 after going through the component list.  It would have been much easier to do this on the bench as opposed to battling it in a confined space under the truck.  

Couldn’t install the front cover yet as the package was delivered opened and front hardware missing , had to go to gather up parts in my shop along with a tap to put the front on Wednesday.  Nice product.  

Great heavy duty product fits nice install pretty straight forward

Skid plate fit well straight forward install.  Had to wait for parts kit as packaging opened during shipping and missing parts.  After install noticed that oil filter would not fit through the factory hole.  Had to cut away material as shown in the photo to fit vehicle and serviceability.
