Modular Bumper- Base model plastic skid plate

[danielkt7]

Does anyone know if the plastic skip plate on a base model bronco is compatible with a factory modular bumper, or is a steel skid plate required?

I don't really plan to off road, but a plastic skid plate sounds cheap and worthless

The Steel skid plate is required. Plastic will not fit the modular bumper. (Just switched mine)

Thanks- I found a factory metal plate for $100- just have to drive 150 miles....

I trimmed my plastic skid plate enough to stuff it under the bottom of the modular bumper until I found a steel skid plate to replace it with.

Ford has found a way to ship Base model equipped Bronco's with the Modular front bumper with plastic skids, so they probably fit.

My 23 Base with Mod front bumper came with a plastic skid plate. Window sticker says its supposed to be steel....

I also found out that my Base Bronco with the MOD bumper has plastic bash plates. So where there is a will there is a way (at least for Ford) to put plastic bash plates with the steel bumper!

The plastic skid plate that comes with the stock plastic bumper is different than the plastic skid plate Ford has been switching to on the optional modular bumpers for lower trims. Ford still hasn't updated the window sticker verbiage to reflect the cost-savings measure so buyers still have recourse to file a mis-build ticket with their dealer to get the steel bash plate that is supposed to come with the modular bumper.

BN asked the Bronco Brand manager about this last night.,He said they were aware and would provide info shortly on how to get the proper plate.

Does anyone have the part number for the plastic skid plate (splash guard) that has been coming with the mod bumper?

Adding mod bumper from a FB Marketplace pickup and don't need to buy the entire steel one right now if the plastic one is available.

I think it's this but I can't tell 100% because the diagram isn't showing the front part of it.
