The the nuts are already part of the frame. You don't need to provide them. The bolts go up to the already existing welded in nuts in the frame.

Hey RangerDangerStranger, with the transfer case skid that's only on the cross member in the middle, but where it bolts on the main frame there's 2 holes for the bolt and in the middle of the holes for the bolts there's 2 small squares holes I can't hold the nut to tighten, the plate covers the squares, I'm thinking I need clip nuts that slide in the squares holes pushed to the bolt holes ,but don't know what bolts and clip nuts I need !!

all the plates bolts are the same thread. think there may be some variation in the head type between the front plate and the rear ones, but, honestly, I don't think it'll matter in a real world application. Threads are the same.

Rival is only 70 more.

"Hello Ranger Danger Stranger, thanks for your reply, I did a websearch, and it shows the same skid plate with the OEM number MB3Z 5B018 A and MB3Z 7E063 A looks like the transfer case skid, what is the motor skid OEM part number, and what's the Rival Gas tank skid part number, remember I have a 2024 ford ranger xl 4wd with the STX trim ,thanks for your help ,I'm almost have this figured out!"

Don't pay attention to the highlighted plate or picture, those are the correct numbers directly from the Ford parts tags that came with the Plates. that pic with the one highlighted plate always pops up for some reason. You'll gat the right plate it if you order those numbers.

Here is a better breakdown with the parts listed by number, thought the stupid highlight is still there.

https://www.fordoempartsdirect.com/...verglades--2-3l-l4-gas/body--frame-components

These are Bronco parts, but fit. The fronts skid is Silver on the Ranger, and searchable, different fromt the part here in the list.

You may want to get some bolts #2 And #4 as well, sold in packs of 4. price per.

https://www.rival4x4usa.com/collections/ford-ranger

You should have the Skid plate brackets, being it's a 4x4. there are some bolts already installed holding the plastic pieces on that can be used to install the steel plates. Get a few extra though, i think i was short 2. same blots hold the transfer case on, 2 bolts.
Hey RangerDangerStranger first happy holidays just a reminder about keeping me informed on that rival tranmission skid plate for the XLT ,XL ford rangers, you might even have the plate already!!

RCI in Colorado is already making kits for the Bronco so the gen 6 Ranger should be coming out soon. I've used their kits on my last 3 F150's and they produce a top quality product. The steel kits are 10 gauge and much better than OEM.

Hello 👋, back on the first of October, I ordered all the plates from RCI and NONE fit this pickup, they told me it would be several months to 3D the undercarriage of that pickup, the 2019 to 2023 kit did not work!
