  1. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    I think so, its advertised as no drill and working with the 2.0 EB. I dont see any exception for the Lariat, just a note that it wont fit Tremor (different product available for Tremor) and a note for Fx4 about which bolts to use. For my 2022 XLT there was no drilling needed. You should confirm...
  2. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    I wish I'd taken a picture of them side by side once I'd removed the stock one since you're not the first to ask. Its not a 100% exact match of the stock one, but it effectively covers the same area, both covering the underside of the engine. There's a much better picture on Rival's website...
  3. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    Just FYI in case you do it yourself without a buddy. You'll put in the rear most bolts and then the plate can sort of hang from those before you tighten them. I then put some spare wood planks I had under the front of the plate, like cribbing, to lift the front of the plate into place so I...
  4. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    The back two used existing nuts in the frame, so they were the easiest. The front two use the pigtails. I used a loop of fishing line to pull the pigtail nut down so theres a bit more pressure behind it while putting in the screw. Not my fav either but still didnt take long.
  5. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    Certainly the first time I change the oil after the install will be the real test. I don't think oil from the drain will hit the plate, but I was considering one of the oil drain adapters anyways. Coming from a Honda Element were the oil dumps on to parts of the engine/frame this seems much...
  6. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    Website says 22lbs. It's probably a tiny bit smaller than the OEM but it's pretty much the same size as far as what they both protect.
  7. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    Some pictures with the access plates removed for anyone curious as to how well they line up with the filter and drain.
  8. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    Looks like they just came back in stock in the last few hours.
  9. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    I noticed JCR Off-road now offers an engine, cat, gas and floor skid. I'm not familiar with there products but they look good. Rival only has the engine skid so I might order some of jcr's other skids.
  10. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    No I have the XLT with the tow package so I got rid of the dreaded felt lol
  11. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    Yep, I haven't actually tried yet but the panels/cuts are designed to allow for oil changes without removing the entire plate.
  12. Rival 4x4 Skid Plate Installed!

    My Rival Skid Plate arrived and I finally had time to install it. Tough to get pictures since I don't have a lift but it was pretty easy to install, only took an hour.
  13. Rock Hauling Adventures: 2023 Hybrid Maverick Lariat vs 2 Tons

    Nice! I just got a few loads of pea gravel myself, definitely had a bit of sag so I added the Timbren SES that a few people here recommended.
