Fitment

Addictive Desert Designs builds this skid plate for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 Ford Broncos across every trim except the Bronco Raptor, in both 2-door and 4-door configurations. It's built to pair with either the Bomber front bumper or the Krawler front bumper, since ADD engineered one skid plate that fits both rather than requiring a separate part for each.

Design

Both the Bomber and Krawler bumpers replace the factory front end with a design that follows different contour lines than the stock bumper, and this skid plate is shaped to flow with either one rather than being a flat, generic piece bolted underneath. It's cut from 3/16-inch aluminum alloy and finished in a satin black powder coat, covering ground the factory plastic skid never reaches once either bumper is on, rather than adding a layer over something that's still there. Because one plate covers two different bumper shapes, ADD had to design the mounting points and contour lines to work with both without compromising the fit on either. That single-plate approach also keeps the parts list simpler for anyone building out a Bronco with one of these bumpers, since there's no separate Bomber-only or Krawler-only version to track down by mistake.

Protection

The factory plastic skid plate is shaped for the stock bumper and doesn't fit under either the Bomber or Krawler, so the front underbelly goes unprotected without a dedicated piece built for the new bumper's lines. This aluminum plate covers a wide footprint of the front underbelly, standing up to rock strikes and trail debris over years of hard trail use rather than just one rough season out on the trail. Satin black powder coat adds rust resistance on top of the impact protection, which matters for a component that sits low enough to catch spray and road salt during wet-weather driving.

Installation

Installation is fully bolt-on with no cutting or drilling required, and most owners have it installed in about thirty minutes once the Bomber or Krawler bumper is already mounted. Bronco Forge stocks this Addictive Desert Designs skid plate for Ford Bronco owners running either bumper who want dedicated underbody protection shaped to match. ADD backs the plate with a 1-year warranty. For anyone cross-shopping a Ford Bronco skid plate, the appeal is straightforward: one aluminum plate does the job of protecting the front underbelly on either of two different bumper styles, without needing to track down a bumper-specific part number for each. Owners switching from a Bomber to a Krawler bumper down the line, or vice versa, can keep the same skid plate through that change rather than buying a new one to match, since the fit and finish carry over between the two. That crossover fitment isn't an accident. ADD designed the Bomber and Krawler bumpers with underbody geometry close enough to share hardware in the first place, and this skid plate is the piece that takes advantage of it, saving a trip back to the parts counter for anyone switching bumper styles down the road.
