Armor for your Bronco: ARB’s Under Vehicle Protection System / Skid Plates

[Rkgzx9leftcoast]

No fitment issues whatsoever. It went together beautifully. The instructions were a little off as you have to use stock hardware in certain holes that they tell you to use their mounting hardware. There's also one spot where they flip the orientation of the instructions from looking down to looking up but it was easy to catch as it was the last skid plate going on and it couldn't go where the fuel tank is.

This skids don't hang down very much below the frame and provide much better coverage over the stock skids.

Unlike some systems this one doesn't go below the crossmember braces for the 2.7 l. It does fill up the gap in between them so it creates a little bit of a plane but they're still out there.

Sorry for the mud, we had just come back from a run.

Looks good. I just saw that ASFIR came out with small skids for these cross-members braces

Does this protect the cat from would be thieves?

It does not protect the CAT.

1. how do you reach the oil pan drain plug?
2. how much does it all weigh?
3. how much extra for protecting the gas tank?

Thanks.

Plates need to be removed to service, 88lbs, we currently do not plan to offer a gas tank skid.

Does it fit the 2 door?

Really looks so good, you ought to be painting these like skateboard deck art

Dang, sorry, all I have is about 15 different flakes from Roth. If I was going full retard, and there's nothing wrong with that, I would flake all the trays before install.

@Ryan at ARB if you hook me up with a vin for purchasing a full set of skids, I'll be the first retard to flake them, and in something like Ghetto Gold topped with Window Pane.

does it look like the Asfir cross member protection will fit with the ARB skids?

Some questions:

Do you sell this kit in individual pieces?

I see you wrote it does not fit the 2 door - will individual portions, IE the front skid plate, fit the two door?

Is this compatible with the base OEM bumper ( plastic one), if so, does ANYONE have any pictures? I would like to see how the coverage compares to the plastic front skid.

Thank you!

Typo on my end, THE UVP DOES FIT THE 2 DOOR!!

But we won't not sell each plate individually.

@Ryan at ARB Any 4th of July sales? Looking at Metalcloak as they include fuel tank protection, but considering this.

I’m seeing all HD Modular or ARB bumpers in pictures. Just hoping to confirm it will fit with my “capable” bumper. Can anyone confirm?

This system does fit the 2 door.

Thanks Ryan. Just to be clear- every website I look at says for 4 door… are you saying I can buy that kit and it will all work the same, or are all these turds just selling the four door option at the moment? Thanks!

We offer one kit and it will fit both the 2 and 4 door model. So even though their site says 4 doors models, it will fit your 2 door just fine!
