Protect your diff and the pinion from rocks with our 1/4″ thick plate steel skid plate. We designed it for maximum ground clearance and heavy-duty protection. Easy to install two-piece design; mounting bracket mounts to the housing studs, then skid plate mounts to it (along with pinion carrier bolts) with countersunk bolts for a smooth sliding surface. All bolt-on installation requires no welding or dropping of the center section. Silver zinc plated for rust resistance includes hardware and instructions.
Also fits ’76-’79 F-150 4X4, ’78-’79 Big Bronco, All Full-Size Broncos with a factory-equipped 9″ differential (up to ’86 in some cases). Will fit any Ford 9″ axle for other custom applications.

NOTE: Some of these years/models may require slight trimming or enlarging at or around mounting points to fit due to casting and OEM truss irregularities. This also may apply to the last 6 months of Early Bronco Production.

Very stout and well built, aligns and fits perfectly. Primer & Paint give it a nice finishing touch. Will provide extra protection to the rear diff.

The design is well thought out. As with all of their products, quality is great!

Very slim line while being very heavy duty. Doesn’t really affect the ground clearance being so tight to the differential.
Will take all the abuse I can dish out to it and then some.

Protection were needed! No one wants to break a drive shaft and this protects the connection to the diff and also provides protection to the diff. Easy bolt on install and being a 1/4” has taken a beating and hasn’t bent.

Solid. It is the best skid plate I found and it will protect your diff without question.

Looks pretty cool…kinda worried about it rusting, so having it powder coated…

I did have to drill out a few of the holes which I understand. Overall very heavy duty. Would have cost me more counting my time to fabricate a similar one
