You sort of buried the lead there Rival,
Aluminum floor pan skids being developed, wake me when those pups are ready.

Let me know when and where. I will test fit all day.

I know that at least the last time I checked these were AWD EB only, but, any intention for one to come for us hybrid owners? I see my engine skid plate should be arriving on Tuesday all the way up here in Cannuckistan, can't wait for that!

Not sure why these are needed unless it's if you off road your Maverick. 1/4 inch aluminum is heavy better come with a better mounting other than those T27 screws the have holding stock one on

Looks nice but my concern would be getting dry grass in there creating a fire hazard.

LOL Exactly. Call me when you get pieces to replace that felt garbage. I'll race Fossil to your factory....

I bet I'm closer... maybe... I don't know where they are being produced.

Hybrid AWD is planned for future development.

These are intended for those that offroad and would like to protect their expensive catalytic converter. There are extra brackets included that support the skid plate. As with most of our products this is a no drill installation.

Most of our R&D is done in Houston, TX

I'm in Houston and assisted with the first skid plate.

Those felt ones are the best thing I have ever seen for picking up stickers!
Grass burrs for the rest of y’all.

I am just in my FWD but I am happy that is in the works for the 25+ folks!

Likewise to many here, the floor skids will be a guarantee for me as well. Saw the (sold out) on the site and look forward to seeing what comes of that, and if it includes us hybrid folks that like to go on more remote trails

That is a great looking skid plate.

The cat hangs kinda low so it does need some protection.

Is there an installation guide or video valuable yet?

We will be working on instructions as production ramps up. Unfortunately at this point I don’t have anything to share.

We manufacture in our own facilities in Turkey and Kazakstan, for both Rival4x4 and OEM.

The addition of tamper proof screws might possibly make it harder for the crack heads to steal the converter.
