Adding skid plates to 2018 Limited with tow package?

[Therabbittree]

Thanks for clearing that up!

Here is a list of everything you need. Please note there are extra u-nuts listed. (I cannot find my leftover parts right now to subtract the ones not needed.)

Feel free to pm me with any questions.

Edit... Uploaded pic of all extra parts I had from my list. I am assuming that if you had NO existing hardware on your car you would need all this.

Did this by chance include the intercooler portion? I didn't see it listed? Thanks in advance.

The first 2 listed under fx4 section... Skid plate a & b.

One is the intercooler part and the other is the oil pan area.

I wasn't able to locate the invoice, so I ended up taking the access panel off of the skid plate and took a couple of photos for you. My recollection was that it cost maybe $40 including the fasteners. See attached:

Hello, do the three bolts come with the access panel above?

You'll have to order the bolts and speed nuts separately. Your parts counter guy should be able to help you out with the correct part numbers for the bolts and speed nuts.

Thank you! I think I see you ordered 6 of these with the trans raptor skid plate and will go with that. If I need more or less, not an issue.

The bolts and speed nuts that mount the raptor transmission skid plate to the frame are much larger than the bolts and speed nuts for the access cover for the oil drain plug.

I came across this option for aftermarket skid plates for F-150 however it looks like they could work for a 4th Gen Expedition too. They are PDM and sold by sharptruck.com. Not sure about 1/8 thickness though...

Anyone see why these wouldn't fit a 2018 Expedition 4X4 Max Limited?

scottdm, what size is your gas tank?

I have a max and want to know if the gas tank is the same size as the short wheel base.
