That’s what I thought but mine came in plastic junk I wanted the steel

Yes, you should have at least got the one bybthe bumper as steel as well. The others yiu do have to buy. If want to go OEM check with @flip as great pricing and will let you know what you need. Otherwise as others have stated go Aftermarket. I'm a mix of oem and RCI/JCR on my OBX

I only see front steel bash plate on the photo you shared

I ordered an OBX with SAS, MOD BUMPER, thought that the steel bash plates were steel till I climbed under and to my amassment they were cheep plastic. One rock or snow drift and that cheep plastic skid plate would be junk. Has anyone else have this same problem? I have contacted my dealership to look into the problem.

.

Mine is definitely steel (just the front bash plate) and pretty well made at that but that is only skid on the OBX SAS.
I took mine off yesterday to put some real skids on it. I need better protection for Moab. RCI full skids underneath boy are they sure and upgrade!

I ordered the steel plates and they showed up plastic not too happy. It‘s on my window sticker

You got what you ordered the front steel bash plate off the MOD bumper other than that you cannot get steel skids on a OBX

Picture of your Bash Plate? I would expect the OBX bash plate to be steel and all of the “skid” plates to be plastic with your configuration.
If your bash plate is plastic then I would say that’s a factory defect.

Here is the steel bash plate on my Badlands.

The BL comes with full steel skid plates which start behind the bash plate

At least it won't rust!

It’s unfortunate skid plates aren’t standard across all trims when you get the SAS Package. I picked up a Capable Bumper and ordered the skid plate kit…I like to stay OEM for some reason but sure would be nice for skids to be standard.

My Sasquatch OBX came with the Modular front bumper, steel front skid pan and still skid under the motor. I ordered the fuel tank and transfer case skid and uninstalled them. I actually bought the four piece kit from Ford because it was cheaper than just the fuel tank one. Two parts left over. Oh well. I’ve never seen a modular bumper with a plastic skid.

Did you have the mod bumper? If you did the plate right under it is steel the engine skid is plastic

This thread is like some of the conversations I have with my wife.


All my skids are plastic.
You only get the one that's steel.
Yeah, but ALL my skids are plastic.
Yeah, you only get the one steel and all the others are plastic.
ALL MY SKIDS ARE PLASTIC.
You got what you ordered.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


Maybe try typing slower. The plate behind the bumper is PLASTIC. If you say it enough times, maybe they’ll get it.

You just wrote what I was thinking. I was reading this thinking...OP was pretty clear here.

It is apparent that when upgrading to the Modular Bumper that it comes with a steel bash plate. No other skid plates come on trims other than the BD and Badlands.

We have only seen your window sticker but not your actual Bronco with the mismatched plate. Based on your description, it seems clear that it was a mistake and your dealer should have no problem correcting the oversight when verifying that you indeed have a plastic skid plate instead of the steel bash plate.

I agree we did need to see some pictures from OP. With the MOD bumper he should have got the steel bash plate it sounds like he got plastic. Take it to the dealer and get your steel one.
