Skid Plates

[Josh B]

It don't give much of a view :/

 

[Lefty]

Yes, I am looking for that front skid plate. That transfer case skid plate could be useful even without that transfer case.

 

[Lefty]

Is this a front skid plate?

 

[JohnnyO]

That could probably be made to fit for the transfer case. But the original post seemed to be asking about a front skid plate which would be completely different.

1998-2000 4x4 Rangers with the Off-Road Package had a front skidplate under the bumper. Not extremely common especially 20 years later but if you could find one in a junkyard or eBay it could probably be made to fit a 2003. 2001+ Off-Road (I had one) did not have a front skidplate. An FX4 Level II might have one but I don't remember for sure.

Maybe this explains why a search reveals nothing. I was typing in 2003

A quick search turned up these. May take some slight modifications to fit a 2wd truck. But it would be a good starting point.

Exactly! Something like this. Spot on...as always, Eric!

OK, you got me off my @$$

Something like this:

It was as cheap for me to make 8 as it was 1; I need 2 for my Ranger, so 6 available.

They are heavy 1/4" A-50 steel (very similar to the '98-'11 Superlift Ranger skidplate which is no longer available) so they wouldn't be cheap to ship.

I'd like $100/ea to cover my cost.

p.s. Did I mention powder coated; I have bolts/spacer for mounting to Superlift

My neighbor used to have a 1998 Off-Road and it had a front skidplate. I got a new 2002 Off-Road and it did not.

I believe that part number is YL5Z-5B018-AA

I have the one Eric posted... it is made to bolt to their bumper.

The photo on the left is the front part that bolts to the bumper?

Don, that's bolt on for a 98-11 4x4? If so any pictures of it installed.

Is that $100, delivery included?

Depending on the answers and what points it mounts to I may be interested in one.

Does anybody still use Greyhound to ship? I see it has a website

Do you still have one of these around that you're willing to sell? Will it fit with an OEM bumper? I have a 2000 4.0L 4x4
