The Bronco Raptor Rear Diff Skid and Pinion Guard is designed to provide protection for your pinion, and provides a smooth surface to slide over obstacles.

As any rock crawling enthusiast will tell you, every inch of ground clearance matters. Anything on your Bronco's underside that can be smooth should be, or it's likely to catch on an obstacle. Our Bronco Raptor Rear Diff Skid is CAD designed with 3D modeling and Precise 3D Scans to retain every bit of possible ground clearance for critical protection you need on the trail. 

Product Details


We build the Bronco Raptor Rear Diff Skid from a combination of 1/4" and 3/8" thick steel. This diff skid ties into multiple locations on the differential flange, as well as clamping tight to the snout of the differential. As a result, you will distribute any force -- such as the weight of the vehicle on a rock -- over a much larger area. This skid also extends your coverage to the pinion seal and yoke/flange where the rear driveshaft attaches.

This skid fits the Bronco Raptor rear AdvanTEK Dana 50/M235 Differential. This skid will not fit the Bronco Sport, or M220 equipped non-Raptor models. Have a non-Raptor, non-Sport Bronco? 

*This skid is designed to work with the Ford Performance Cover provided from the factory

(1) Rear Differential Skid Plate with Top Clamp
(2) Hardware Sticks with hardware/ bolts
(7) Class 8.8 Zinc Plated Fasteners

FAQs

  • Do I need to empty my differential fluid before installation?
    In our experience, no. The factory gasket in addition to the very thick/ rigid flange on our HD Diff Covers has not leaked any fluid when removing the lower 7 bolts on the cover, as long as the upper 7 bolts are left in place during installation.


  • This ties into the diff cover; will it cause the gasket to begin leaking fluid if hit hard enough?
    In our experience, that would be unusual. When properly torqued with a good gasket, the clamping force of the differential cover bolts along with a very thick/ rigid flange. This prevents most impacts from compromising the integrity of a good gasket/ seal between the cover and differential. Our diff skid extends so far forward, it arguably offers more leverage than the diff cover itself. This is why the pinion/ snout clamp components and hardware are so substantial.

 

  • Will this work with my factory diff cover?
    Yes! The factory diff cover on the Bronco Raptor is one of the heavier duty factory options we have seen on the market, and this Raptor Rear Diff Skid is designed to work with it out of the box.
  • What are the torque specs for installation? 18 ft/lbs on the M8 Hardware, and 37 ft/lbs on the 3/8"-16 Hardware
