The first pic was in my box when I bought it guessing it is the skid plate. and the rubber piece under the radiator I am guessing encloses the bottom on the radiator for air but is only held by 2 clips so most of time just hanging there. Would any of you have pics to show me properly how these are installed on truck so I can properly have it together. 06 fx4 Thank you the 3rd pic is taken from the top looking down at the ground between the bumper and the radiator. its open and I am sure not suppose to be that way.

My rubber thing under radiator had tore loose on the radiator side , I had to use aluminum flat plate to repair it and blind rubber expansion nuts to hold it in place . Plastic push pins would not hold it . I had to put spacers in there also as it is not a flat surface to attach to .
I live in hot florida I didn't want to lose air flow path or get dirt etc from underneath into radiator area. Holes in steel are between ac condenser and radiator core so I was careful to not hit them with a fastener .

On the second pic, you can see the bolt holes for the front of the skid plate. Once you put the plate in place with those holes lined up with those holes, the back ones line up. I just put mine back on this weekend when I did an oil change, I am pretty sure that a 1/2 inch socket fit the bolt heads, not really sure on the actual thread size but there are two that go straight up (on the back of the plate) and two that go in the front toward the engine. Takes about 2 or 3 minutes to put it back on, very easy to do.

Is that where the clips are for front?
Do you have to remove it to do oil changes?

Yes, the clips in the front are for the front 2 bolts to hold the plate on. I had mine removed because I did some work underneath, don't think I had to remove it to do the oil changes though.
