bashed in skid plates

[kawie95]

And this is exactly why we designed the TMX skid plate. With the increased approach angle you will not worry about denting it up like the stock one. And it is a direct bolt in replacement to the stock.

Here is our skid plate having fun in Baja...

If thats Treys truck, I would guess thats a before March 2013 picture

Looks like ford got a little smarter about these skid plates. For $650 you can buy this upgrade. Should be stock.

for 600$ that piece of metal better be bullet proof

Why they didn't come with reinforcement to begin with is beyond me.

Because Ford marketing had a great idea >> let's jump this truck and take pics and videos of it, it will be bad ass. The Ford engineers said no, we can't do that as owners will really go out and do it. No one will buy a 50K truck and jump it. The marketing guys replied with of course they won't, who would be that stupid to jump this truck. But it's a good marketing pitch so let's do it.

And that's history >> Ford sold more than they expected, bent frames and bashed in skid plates ...

Why they didn't come with reinforcement to begin with is beyond me.

It sounded a lot worse than it looks. ADD makes a pretty strong bumper... but I think before next year's TRR I might need to get me a WSI frame cut set-up.

how strong is that tmx skid plate?

 

[Phyguy]

Smashed it in real good. Ripped the bolts out too. Good thing I got Wicked to send me two. Bent my LCA mounts too.
