Rock crawling and serious off-roading expose your Ford Bronco’s undercarriage to brutal impacts, but the factory skid plates are often too thin and poorly shaped to provide real protection. The ARB Under Vehicle Protection (5480100) delivers heavy-duty, vehicle-specific armor that safeguards critical components like the engine, transmission, and transfer case, giving Bronco owners the confidence to tackle the toughest trails without costly damage.
Precision-engineered for the Bronco. Developed in close collaboration with Ford, this 3-piece skid plate system uses laser-cut, 3mm (1/8") high-strength steel with a durable black powder-coat finish. It bolts directly to factory mounting points on 2021-2025 Broncos (both 2.3L and 2.7L engines), offering full coverage from the front bumper to the transmission crossmember—no drilling or permanent modifications required. The contoured design follows the Bronco’s frame and driveline for maximum ground clearance while still allowing full articulation.
Ultimate impact resistance. Unlike lightweight aluminum or plastic alternatives, ARB’s thick steel construction absorbs and deflects rocks, logs, and debris with ease. The smooth underside reduces snagging, while strategically placed drain holes prevent water and mud buildup. Proven in the harshest Australian outback and Moab trails, this protection kit keeps your engine, transfer case, and transmission safe when the going gets extreme.
