Not the product you asked about, but their skids are high quality and installation went great.

I’m glad to hear that. I am thinking about ordering these to replace my Badlands skids since they are ~73 lbs lighter but hadn’t seen anyone who had them yet.

I have a SAS OBX, so these were a must for me.. Highly recommend them. Just get a second set of hands for the gas tank skid. Gearbox and transfer case ones were easy solo.

Stupid question @ASFIR 4x4 These skids fit over the factory plate that is already there in the picture below correct? It was just bulkier than I thought, but it's on all of the top mounts from the factory right?

Don’t believe it was designed for the ones like this that are already reinforced. Some trims don’t have it though. I ordered the rear shock, differential and transmission protection. Transmission is really exposed and is is a plastic pan. All very good quality. Items shipped quicker than I anticipated too.

Thanks for the input. I thought that I had seen this reinforcement on some, but not all models, so I wasn't sure. I'm guessing the BL and the BD have this reinforcement at least?

These weigh in that much lighter than the BL factory skids? Reason enough alone to do it almost.

Based on the information I’ve got that is correct. Factory skids are ~125 lbs and Asfir lists theirs at 57 lbs.

Hey @5280Bronco , there are no stupid questions :)
As for our Rear Radius protectors, although you got other replies I wanted to pitch-in too.
Our protectors are for the trims that don't have the OEM steel plates (like shown in this pic).

If there's anything else I can help with, i'll be happy to do so.
