Just found these while browsing for the labour day sale. OEM fuel tank skid are pretty well regarded from what I have read. What do you guys think?

I did think about getting one of these. Looking at the underside of my Bronco that tank looks very exposed.

will it work with regular broncos or just the raptor?

Description says compatible with all 4Dr bronco so I would assume non raptor model will work as well

Curious if this is better than the Aluminum plates from Asfir…

Aluminum is for sure miles lighter, this part is >100 lb by itself I’m pretty sure

Valid point, I’m thinking more along the lines of coverage…

How is this different than the steel fuel tank skid ford been selling a while now for regular Broncos? Looks just like the one I got in my full Ford skid package.

Not sure, I didn’t know the raptor has different fuel skids. But I guess it give you the option to get the fuel skids separately

I just installed this two weeks ago on my Wildtrak. Kind of tricky by yourself, the packing actually made great props to help hold it until I could get the bolts in. Pretty simple install. Loosen the bolts holding the existing straps, take the rear strap completely off, get the skid loosely bolted to the rear, then take the front strap off. Will keep the gas tank in place without having to use rachet straps to hold it up. (Run your tank dry before you do this.) I think all the skid plates except for maybe the front bumper are interchangeable with the Raptor? For those of us who didn't get the full bash plate set from the factory, this is a great deal with the labor day sale. I also added the OEM transfer case skid.

As a Raptor owner who has stress tested my skids, I’ve got no complaints about my gas tank skid. But that said, I have no idea if it’s better or worse than other options out there.

I don't think it's any different than the Badlands one.

Looks the same as the one on my Badlands

pretty sure its the same. it does its job well, I have tested mine pretty good. Its not as thick as some of the other stuff, but also doesn't add all that additional weight.
