Anyone happen to be selling their front OEM skid plate off of a Sport or FX4 model? Looking to buy one for my XLT, and don't mind wear-and-tare on it. I would need the hardware with it as well. Would need to be the 2006-2011 model.

My truck is not lifted, just want a little extra protection under the radiator for peace of mind.

Would be open to skid plate recommendations as well.

Thanks!

Get an rci skid. They are amazing.

Oem skid plate doesn't really protect. More for looks so I would get the rci one.

Just bought a 1/4" thick aluminum RCI one and I'm very impressed with it so far. It's so much better than the stock one IMO

How would it look on a standard suspension? I'd be afraid of it looking bad, because I am not lifting my truck at all. I have seen the RCI skids and I am impressed by them.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

They don't protect? What's the point of it then?

Yes, I see that but I don't see how a piece of metal that's meant for a purpose be use for looks. I mean, it's there for a reason not for aesthetics.

It's more so they could say it has one. It's just not very tough that's all.

Take a beer can and hit it with a hammer, same thing happens when a rock hits the oem skid plate. They crumple. Sure it might save you one time but then it is ruined. RCI used to not exist so it was oem or custom make one, now that there is a good option then might as well spend the money on one that can take a hit.
