How easy was the install? Looks like four screws; Correct? Any cutting or drilling required?

two questions
any better way to route elect wiring?
does it work with the Tremor/Badlands skid plate?

Plug & Play Forsure. Easiest aftermarket part I've installed so far. I'm surprised because I can barely change my own oil.

Yep, it comes with brand new 4 hex screws that are stronger than stock.

No drilling or cutting. Super easy.

Here's a link for the skid plate: https://www.rallyinnovations.com/products/2021-ford-bronco-sport-base-big-bend-outer-banks-skid-guard-fo-r9b-skg-01

Hmmm. The elect wiring I'm not 100% sure about. You may have to modify the skid and cut to pull that off.

Here's a skid plate for first editions and bad lands. It's much cheaper too : https://www.rallyinnovations.com/products/2021-ford-bronco-sport-first-edition-badlands-skid-guard-fo-r9f-skg-01

HRG also have a great skid plate for badlands.

Interesting. Won't work on the Badlands. Odd that they'd make this incompatible on the model most likely to use a metal skid-plate.

(My assumption of incompatibility is that this looks like it would not fit where the Badlands has the front tow hooks).

EDIT: I think I conflated the RC lights with the skid plate. I thought it was all one piece. It's the lights that appear incompatible with the Badlands.

Thanks for the photos. You help make my decision between raw and black. So black it goes!

Their instrictions show it can be mounted on a BL/FE.

Mine is on a badlands and it fit and works just fine. It's nothing fancy, and in fact, I let RI know, that I believe the spacer should be welded to the plate. Installation isn't my worry, My worry is when it goes to the dealership and the spacers roll away from the tech as he/she wasn't expecting them when removing the plate for an oil change. There is another thread out there on the non powder coated version, but I did get the powder coated version.

Yes, you're correct. This model skid plate isn't compatible with the tow hooks on badlands. Or at least there's a gap in-between the undercarriage and the skid plate closer to the front bumper where an object could catch on the skid plate. Like a winch or rope could snag on the front of the skid plate and rip off.


Here's a pic of the BL/FE skid plate

It's not nearly as wide and looks a lot better in my opinion. Fits the vehicle aesthetically.
