What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

Curious how it holds up. My LOD Black Ops Transmission Skid Plate is pretty trashed already. Will see if it's salvageable.

Bought their aluminum version with reinforcing ribs to save weight. It’s bent up in the center some. Otherwise good shape. In hindsight, wish I’d bought the steel version. At least I could weld on it. Not set up to weld aluminum. Since then, I’ve installed a PPE aluminum transmission pan probably negating any need for trans skid. But skid went back on after pan anyway.

I could be wrong, but Talons is one of a very few, if not the only one, making a direct fit trans skid to existing SAS skids. IMHO, a good design and I like the company. As I said above, if I had to do over it would be steel.

I would not rely on a cast aluminum pan for protection for my transmission fluid. Aluminum sheet/plate in a skid is a very different animal.

I agree. That’s why I put the skid back.

Asfir offers up an aluminum transmission skid plate. I just installed the Ford engine and transfer case skids with the Asfir transmission skid and transfer case skid brace. All fit like a glove.

Dropped my 23 Badlands off to have 37” KM3s and a 2-1/2” lift installed. Last shot of it before:

Will that skid plate fit with the OEM set already installed?

The LOD one fits with oem skids and protects cross beams. Had it over 2 years now. A little beat up but holding strong.

Added a new spare cover from spare cover.com. Great quality and fit. Custom fitment available. I am not associated with the company. Just a happy customer.

Almost a shame to use my AWESOME tire cover.

I installed a set of Laminx amber fog light skins.

Installed this hitch step with slider I found off Amazon from NuoVepe. Well machined and sturdy, with recovery hook and shackle mount built in.

Finally stepped up to a set of 35s, paired with a set of coilovers to address how one corner was almost a full inch lower than the others. Curbs and parking blocks are shaking in their boots

Did the wiring in prep for my winch install. Aux 5 and used the purple wire to the front.
