Anyone with the Off-Road Package on their Truck if you could take a couple of Good Pictures of the Transfer Skid Plate that would help me out,my Truck came with the Off-Road Package but the 1st owner removed the T.C Skid Plate.So I bought a NOS one & had a Garage put it on while they had it up changing the Oil,and I think the Guy put it on backwards.So I need to see what they look like from the Factory.Thanks...

it should angle down from the front like this \
to skid over things, if it is angled like this / it will scoop stuff up.

I just went out and took some pics of my bronco.. Not sure of they're the same but I assume they should be.. Hopefully you can see it with all the mud hahah







All the pictures were taken from the drivers side

I didn't even know this was an option. I don't go off road a lot, but that would be nice to have, would help relax me some. Quick question, what else comes with the off road package over just a regular 4x4?

TheLoudestSilence

Honestly I don't know.. I'm not even sure if my bronco has an "off road" package.. I just knew it had the skid plate untill now I assumed all the 4x4s had them

Mine doesn't, didn't know any did lol. I want one now. I assumed there would be actermarket stuff available, never had a huge desire or really thought about it. My truck is on pavement or driving in my fields 90% of the time, not normally any even moderate off roaring, but when I do it would be nice to have.

After looking around for what seemed like forever I found this Pic,and it Slants like this \ toward the Front of the Truck.So sure enough the Guy put it on backwards,so I'm going back & have them change it around.Also can anybody take a guess on what Size the Bolt & Screw is that Ford used on this? And if anyone still can Post up some better Pic's I'd still like to have them..Thanks..

i would say the factory used a 3/8 bolt maybe a 7/16. dont remember, but i had to drill the holes out on mine when i went with 1/2" bolts.

fordtrucknut

also in the pic you posted the bolts are in wrong, you want the threads facing up into the frame so they dont get damaged.

Lightning LA

That's the way I had the Guy put them on mine with the Bolts up,but I'm thinking Ford put them on with the Bolts down like the Pic I posted.I'd like to see a Pic of a Truck with the Factory mounted Skid Plate to see exactly how they mounted it Bolts & all.But again I'm thinking the Pic I posted is the way it came from the Factory because it doesn't look like it's ever been messed with.
