Certainly a pain in the ass to install but very well worth it, I’ve come down pretty hard on my rails on some Virginia mountain ledges and they’ve done their job. Nice work!
Anything worth having is worth fighting for!. In my 50+ years of automotive/industrial and facility maintenance, few plans are void of thinking and modifying on the run

I'm glad to know that it can be made to fit. I assume you removed the factory EVAP plate?
A lot of work, but better than tearing up the fuel lines. I'll have to get around to paying off a buddy to help me out when I decide to do it.

Yeah, I removed the thick steel cover around the evaporator. In retrospect, I’m not 100% certain if the JCR evap skid interfered with the OEM evap guard since I had other interferences going on at the front (sub-frame tie-ins not yet unbolted) and rear (fuel tank guard) when we initially fit checked. I think it had to come off.

I really wish Ford would have just installed a full skid plate to protect the fuel lines and that wiring. Or if someone would come out with an easier to install one for the '25 BSBL.
