Raptor Skid Plate on my 2018 F-150 XLT

Nice, can’t wait to see it! I’ve got 0 offset with 1.5” spacers, so essentially -38 offset. Your setup should be perfect! I’d definitely like to go a little bigger wheels eventually, and with a proper offset like you’re doing. I’m sure the spacers are fine for my use but I’d still like to get new wheels someday

Daaaaang! This picture caught me off guard. I was casually reading through your thread and it was like "ehh, I might do this color, or this, or this" and then BAM all done, whiteout.
it looks really good, that's exactly the way I would have done it if it were mine. Good call.

Thanks! Working on some fog lights/inserts for the bumper at the moment. Hoping to use 70mm Morimoto XB LED fogs, or similar, with a custom bezel and using the same honeycomb that I used in the grille to fill the rest. Hoping to do something similar to this but with a fog light in each too.

Finally got mine installed. Had to drill a hole in the skid plate for the rear to mount up like JCROUCH initially suggested. Huge fan of the look and honestly don't hate the silver as much as I expected to.

Rear bolts
Were you able to reuse the bolts for the rear of the skid plate or did you need longer ones? Did the skid plate support (bar for the back of the skid plate) come with the bolts?
I was was considering just getting some thick metal washers for the rear.
Got it the front brackets and skid plate coming just looking to move forward on the rest before I have it here to look at.
Thanks.
