Looks new to me?
Ford Bronco Lobo Off-Road HNT Skid Plate Install & Review -- “SO EASY, A GIRL CAN DO IT!” (/S) 1695829161252

This is what slightly used looks like.

I had just washed mine and it wasn’t in great lighting. It definitely wasn’t in “new” condition. Either way though, the new skid plate looks so much better, and provides more clearance. So why wouldn’t I upgrade from the original even if it was like new?

Main issue I see with this skid is it leaves the spot where the lower control arms connect completely exposed. This spot gets hit easily and needs protection. I specifically look for skids that protect this weak spot.

You raise a valid point, but for her level of off-road use, it wasn’t a major concern. All the contact we’ve encountered with the OEM skid plate on hers, was due to the angle of the skid, and it bumping mid point between the bumper and the lower portion… this skid plate simply didn’t touch at all, on the same obstacles the OEM got dented and scratched.

Its amazing, all these women in Youtube videos wear Yoga pants and sandals when working on their Bronco/Jeeps.

If you had gouges in your stock skid...wait til you hit that Aluminum skid on a rock. I don't understand why weight savings is an issue - you wont save much in fuel if any. Aluminum skids and rock slides are ok for street queens only.

Anyone with Aluminum skids will tell you they deform and gouge easily.
