Ford Performance Tremor Skid Plate Kit install... Done!

[cb4017]

Today I finished installing this kit on my Rattler. No real surprises but it did take most of the day. If you're mechanically inclined the instructions found online from Ford will work. The grill and bumper have to come off. The mounts on the inside of the bumper have to be removed and the fog lights if you have them. This is so you can remove and install stuff on the bumper. Overall not a bad job and I really like how it looks. Now I don't have to worry about tearing off that air dam.

looks good, did you make changes so the pcm doesn’t throw the active air dam codes or just leave it since it doesn’t throw an engine light?

The Ford Performance instructions made no mention of changes to the PCM so I didn't worry about it.

Long thread here about installing the Tremor skid plates then Ford conveniently made this kit to help out.

Looks great man! Just finished mine Thursday night, definitely worth the cost but a heck of a lot of work just to get the plastic part clipped on lol

noticed your bumper is a different color than your truck. Is that part of a package? Looks good…

Right! I saw that thread but was holding off because I wasn't sure what I was going to do. When I saw that Ford Performance came out with this kit I figured it was the way to go.

Got it from Benny at Levittown Ford.

Thanks!

Yes, the bumper came that way. I think it's part of the Rattler package.

Looks good. Did you also install dead head plugs for the air dam? I found them online and it was less than $15 for them. Also anyone with a 5.0 will not have to remove the grille and upper bumper cover
