Skidplates for frame supports?

[VoltageDrop]

i would not do that after i watch this video. It my total your vehicle.

I assume you mean the discussion at the 4:00 mark saying damage to those is being considered frame damage because the crossmember is not available separately? I would make it very discrete if I hack them off so I doubt the casual observer would notice. Hey @flip is the transmission crossmember really not available for purchase? If that's a concern, maybe we could grab a 2.3L auto crossmember from a salvage Bronco and run it then swap back if the vehicle is to be sold? This does make me more interested in building one from scratch since I think there's some clearance to be had at the crossmember as well. Interesting.

According to the catalogue, that is correct and same for the 2.3. If it has a shape or symbol it means part of the assembly, in this case, 5005 is the frame. Now, there are instances like in the pic with 5775C which is a shackle repair kit that can be purchased separately from the whole assembly. Since the trans cross member for both the 2.3 and 2.7 are shown apart from the assembly, my assumption is that they will be offered apart from the assembly at some point.

I installed the raptor plate on mine which covers a good deal of the stuff in question but this is a 2.3 so no kickers. When my next one comes in it will be a 2.7 and get the same shield.

Raptor sheild covers the 2.7 kickers, Awesome! Part#?

I like that they are aluminum too (less than half the weight of the RCI ones).

Aluminum may have been an option but the ASFIR cross member skids I got were definitely steel (as confirmed with a magnet). My ASFIR trans skid is aluminum.

The Ford brackets on the 2.7 are just lazy engineering. The same thing can be accomplished with a round tube like Toyota does. Round tubes slide better over rocks too………
Wait for the aftermarket to make quality replacements for those monstrosities.
Toyota’s have rust issues, as seen in the pic:

27k miles in 14 and half months, too and from Florida (1k too and another back) for Jeep Beach

its a beginners clutch imo, something to teach your friends and fam with, very easy and forgiving but also not jelly clutch like a mk2 audi tt. I dont know why anyone who wanted a manual would go automatic, especially when a few bolt ons would close the gap between the 2.3 and 2.7 (unless said 2.7 got similar mods)

Yeah, noticed that the kit stated aluminum, and just the arm skids as stainless steel. Either way, thanks for the pic. I have the ASFIR on order.

Down the road I plan to be adding the lower arm guards from ASFIR, trailing arm guards from ASFIR, rear diff skid from DV8, and the rear shock guards from DV8.
