Upper Front Skid Plate?

[JasonDroninAround]

I'm having a hard time finding a skid plate for the area between the factory skid plate and the front bumper, for my 2025 Tremor. I am pretty content with the factory skid plate that is under the engine. I just noticed that the bottom of the radiator is only protected by plastic that seems more flimsy than the plastic on the interior dash hehe. Maybe even a mini bull bar between the tow hooks would work? Here's a high tech MS Paint illustration of the area I'm talking about and a little video I put on here a few weeks ago showing what I did to protect the rear plastic bumper. This same video shows the front bottoming out. I'm concerned that someday I may hit something, like this, hard enough to damage the radiator or condenser or whatever that is at the lowest front point.

The crunching sound when you drag the front makes me cringe. We could definitely use some drag protection on both ends. I'd love to have a few more inches of ground clearance, but from what I've read, I'm not going there.

Try hitting that at an off angle, say 45 degrees. The effect if doing this is a wonderful thing for your underbody panels.

I typically do hit it at an angle. That's why the rear bumper bumper is so wide, to protect the corners of the rear bumper. I just filmed myself doing this one the wrong way because this was my first real off road trip with that contraption on the rear and I wanted to see how it worked. With that awesome rear differential, three wheeling this thing seems inconsequential

I think that area is protected enough for off road proposes

No. That seems to pretty much cover the same exact thing that the factory is skid plate covers. I am content with that skid plate. If you look at that picture from the seller site that shows it installed, I'm looking for a place that goes from the front of their skid plate up to where you see the license plate frame. I'm looking for a bit more protection for the bottom of the radiator. There is a piece of metal going across the bottom of the radiator in the area that I'm concerned about. I'm ust not sure if that provides much protection.

Kind of like this. Something that goes between the under the engine skid plate to the front bumper https://www.fabfours.com/p-fab-four...Nu8bZc6KH60R-RB6_DyP2Y6be0C-F3rm6HqKNbF70q25o

Yes, there should be another skid plate under the radiator in front of the engine skid.
Also a replacement for the plastic rear bumper.

The 2 missing parts for a real off road rock protection system. Everything else you can get.
