Installation Video

Step By Step Install

At a glance

Customers are highly satisfied with the skid plates/guards, frequently describing them as thick, sturdy, great-fitting protection that’s easier than expected to install and a big upgrade over factory fiberboard panels. The main negatives relate to packaging/shipments missing hardware, occasional fitment/drilling issues, and instructions that could be clearer without relying on videos.

What Customers Liked

  • Very thick/heavy-duty, “beefy,” rock-solid once installed; protects plastic transmission pan, oil pan, filter, fuel/water separator, and other critical front components; provides peace of mind for rough roads/off-road use and catalytic converter theft concerns.
  • Fits great/bolts right up on various Ford trucks (F-150/F-250/F-350 model years mentioned); looks awesome; some users powder-coated for aesthetics/stealth.
  • Many installed in driveway in ~45–60 minutes; hardware included and parts labeled; newer design noted as much easier than older model; generally straightforward with only a few tricky bolts.
  • Fast shipping (e.g., Canada to Midwest in 3 days); easy to deal with; prompt shipping.
  • Openings for oil drain/filter described by some as large enough to service without issues.
  • Installation video helped significantly; enabled install even in very cold conditions.

Things to Consider

  • Some items arrived in a heavy-duty garbage bag with no padding; packages delivered opened; missing front hardware/parts kits requiring shop-sourced replacements or waiting for parts.
  • Occasional hole not drilled/punched; one bolt location required enlarging a hole; self-threading screw slow to catch; T-bolt fitment needed a large washer; one report that oil filter wouldn’t pass through factory hole requiring cutting for serviceability.
  • Directions criticized as poorly ordered and lacking required tool list/details (e.g., deep sockets/step bit); some steps impossible if followed literally (rubber bumper insertion after tightening); several users felt a video was needed to avoid confusion.
  • Reported need for an additional rubber bumper (driver side) to prevent vibration against cross member; user added rubber to fix.
  • Front bolts can be tricky; one “right forward” bolt difficult without long needle-nose/extra technique.
  • One user noted difficulty finding plates to cover fuel tank (desire for more comprehensive protection options).

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

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.
