We are experiencing growing numbers of orders for this Skid Plate, and we believe a big share of those are through the Forum, thank you for your trust.

To make the installation easier and smoother, please be gentle with our special insert nuts with wires - unfortunately the wires can break off, we are working on improving them. We are going to have replacements for you of course if that happens, but it's just to make everyone's life easier

Any plans to make a YouTube video showing installation? I thought it was just a bolt on part. Didn’t know about inserts and wires.

How stupid! Buy a 4 wheel drive semi off road vehicle and have to replace all the plastic with metal components!

Just got mine in. Going on tomorrow. Very well-made. All we need now are panels to replace the felt under the drive and passenger doors. Really the evap side.

Thanks Rival for investing in the non BL builds of the Sport line up. Makes sense, since Ford decided to give us a plastic cover. I ordered mine yesterday and look forward to its delivery.

I had 3 of these nut inserts fail on me. No power tools were used. Two on each side and 2 larger ones at the rear of the plate. The larger ones are fine. They slot into the frame holes and you spread the wires to hold them in place. The issue I had was the bolts did not smoothly thread into the inserts. Pretty course threads, not cross threaded. Those wires are not strong and will spin around and break off. So thread the bolts into those nut inserts before installation to make sure everything goes smoothly.

I would love to install rivnuts but I think the factory holes are a little too big and some of them are not round.

Thanks for the update...sounds like a little bit of a trickier install than it looks.

Do you have any plans for the Badlands edition of the Bronco Sport? For example replacing any of the existing skid plates with version offering more skid plate coverage or replacing any felt “skid plates” with metal versions? I think the Badlands comes standard with 4 skid plates but some say it is 5 skid plates.

If you are talking about the felt skid plates, those are just covers. There is a skid plate underneath those felt pieces if I read correctly.
