DETAILS
Whether sliding over rocks or hitting a surprisingly deep pothole, many of your vehicles most expensive components are completely exposed below and underbody damage is costly. Protect your investment with RCI skids, the ultimate defense for all on and off-road hazards.
Many Bronco drivers have been looking for skid plates for daily driving, overlanding, and offroad. Whether you use your vehicle for work or play, we have an option that will work for your application. RCI’s Bronco skid plates are available in two popular options:
3/16″ Steel– Heavy duty protection, capable of handling whatever you can throw at it. Our 3/16″ steel skid plates are far tougher than OEM and provide significantly more coverage, especially when purchased as part of our “Skid Plate Package”. A heavy duty black powdercoat finish is standard on the steel option and will provide years of reliable use and great looks.
1/4” Aluminum– Excellent all around protection for any purpose, substantially stronger than factory skid plates, extremely corrosion resistant and cannot rust means they require no finish or paint prior to installation. The aluminum skid plates are extremely lightweight yet strong and are the premium choice if you are looking for the best strength to weight ratio..

Great quality for the price! I got the 3/16 black powder coat set.
Super easy installation! I have the regular plastic bumper, so I slightly modified the factory plastic skid plate for a more complete look.
Highly recommend this product!
Please start putting RCI stickers in the box, I’d like to rep such a great brand!

Was heavier than I thought but it looks great and installed in about 20 min with assistance from my teenage son. All the holes lined up just fine.

Fit and finish were good and it looks like it will be very durable. RCI pricing is some of the best in the industry and remains USA made.
My only wish is that this skid had an access door for oil changes. As is it has to be removed for oil changes.
Still a good protective skid, just would be nice to have an access door like the 4 Runner variants.

Got the 1/4″ raw aluminum. Solid and well built. Easy assembly and install, only issue I had was that for the front bolts under the bumper, both sides wouldn’t fit into the hole as the lip of the plate was hitting the bumper (modular bumper). So had to hang one side, and thread the other side. Once that was done, the rest was simple.
