Standard bumper + OEM Skid plates

[twendel44]

Good evening - total noob here. I've come across a used set of take-off skid plates from a junk yard. I'm in the market for some for my '24 Big Bend + Sasquatch. I've identified the need for bash plate, engine skid plate, and gas tank skid plate. Which of the OEM plates will fit with the standard bumper? I'm thinking the bash plate does NOT. While the others DO. But will the others work solo without the OEM bash plate?

Thank you ahead for the assistance!

If I recall correctly, the standard steel bash plate will fit with the plastic bumper, but it will have a bit of a gap - it won't come up flush to the bumper like your current plastic skid plate will.

Every other plate behind that one is the same for all broncos (depending on door count)

Thank you for your input! Would you happen to know if there are separate mounting brackets for these or they just attached straight to body/frame?

I've done some looking around and it seems there are brackets for it but it's not clear what they look like separate.

No mounting brackets, straight to frame.

Some aftermarket plates will have brackets that they come with. I don't have the Ford set, I don't know if it requires or ships with any other brackets. It's a Ford part, not a Ford Performance part, there is probably a Youtube video or something that shows the installation.

For the most part I believe they will bolt right up, but the fuel tank skid is a bit tricky
