Stealth Fighter Front Skid PlateFOR THE 2021–2026 Ford Bronco

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 specifically to pair with the Stealth Fighter front bumper, matching that bumper's low-profile lines rather than being a generic plate that happens to bolt underneath it.

Design

The Stealth Fighter bumper runs a lower, tighter profile than a lot of other aftermarket bumpers on the market, and this skid plate follows that same shape so the underbody doesn't stick out below the bumper's own lowest point. It's cut from 3/16-inch aluminum alloy and finished in a satin black powder coat that matches the bumper's styling, so the whole front end reads as one design rather than a bumper with a mismatched plate hanging underneath it. The factory plastic skid plate was never built with that low-profile fit in mind, since it's shaped around the stock bumper's different geometry entirely, and it doesn't carry over once the Stealth Fighter bumper is on. Running the factory skid behind a Stealth Fighter bumper would leave a visible mismatch where the two parts meet, since neither the shape nor the finish would line up.

Protection

This aluminum plate takes on the job the factory plastic skid can't once the Stealth Fighter bumper is in place, absorbing hits from rocks and trail debris without losing its shape the way plastic would under the same impact. Because it's built as a companion piece to the Stealth Fighter's specific contours, coverage extends across the full width of that bumper's low stance instead of leaving gaps at the edges the way a universal-fit plate sometimes does. That edge-to-edge fit is the difference between a plate that looks engineered for the bumper and one that just happens to bolt underneath it, and it's the kind of detail that shows up clearly in photos from underneath the truck.

Installation

Installation is fully bolt-on with no cutting or drilling required, and most owners have it installed in about thirty minutes once the Stealth Fighter bumper is already mounted. Bronco Forge stocks this Addictive Desert Designs skid plate for Ford Bronco owners running that specific bumper who want underbody coverage that matches its low-profile styling instead of a plate that sits below the bumper's own lines. ADD backs the plate with a 1-year warranty. Owners searching for a Ford Bronco skid plate to complete a Stealth Fighter build usually land on this part specifically because it's the one piece engineered to match that bumper's exact profile rather than a compromise fit. Running a mismatched skid plate underneath a low-profile bumper like the Stealth Fighter tends to show, since anything that hangs lower than the bumper's own line becomes the new lowest point on the truck and the first thing to catch on the next obstacle. Building the skid plate to the bumper's exact geometry instead of a generic profile is what keeps that from happening, so the low stance the Stealth Fighter is known for stays intact all the way from the bumper face back to the frame.
