If I removed the skid plate is it ok to put on an ecoboost?

I attached it with the skid plate to protect the ecoboost opening. It still allows plenty of air.

Not sure...I would recommend taking off your wheel and take one pad off and compare the two. If they are the same size and have notches in the same place, I would say you are fine.

That is the claim, but I wouldn't try it. I recently installed this on my 2009 GMC Sierra, like the product but wouldn't stand on it. Make sure when you get it there is no damage/bent rails. Mine was tweaked a bit, didn't want to go through the remove/package to get it fixed.

Yes.....I installed mine over the exsisting skid plate... The directions call for removing it...but it will fit nicely in combination.

Unless you have the new eco model whose engine is different, the fit will be exactly the same. It might fit on the eco, but I'd do a little more research

I think that would be a good idea. Just whatever you do, get something with better traction than this style!

Not at all. The servo and esc are not waterproof at all. You would also ruin your drivetrain from rust.

That is a safety feature. Do not remove it. Just lift it up when you want to shift into reverse. Gravity keeps it down to block accidental reversing which could run you over.

Yes, you will have to take it off again. The plate doesn't mount to anything really, mine just sits in place. There's a little wiggle if you mess with it but you cant tell by looking at it. If I were to take the thermostat off again I would put a dab of glue to attach the faceplate to the thermostat.

I didn,t have a skid plate on my 2014 Tacoma but my installation instructions says to remove before installation. I hope this will help you.

I would think it would... don't know where the ecoboost would change the front end at all

No but it might be a little easier if you remove the skid plate to do it. Get a longer socket or extension.

If it is the optional silver skid plate it will have to be removed to work if it is the black standard skid plate it will work

Thank you for your inquiry. You have a good question, we have not installed on a ecosmart scooter before. Our shop manager said it would probably work but the Ecosmart's rear rack would need to be removed. He said you have a couple options, 1) use the standard "Fork Hitch" base unit installation as seen on amazon (minor modifications may be needed) or 2) use the "Alternate Rear Rack" installation as seen on our website. If you go to and click on our PRODUCT TAB, then at the bottom click on parts. The Alternate Rear Rack connects to the seat post only, like the ecosmart's scooter rack.If you would like option 2), we can ship out a modified order if you contact us.

I've never tried it, I don't think you would need anything extra to do this. Just make sure the sliding plate is locked down securely.

If you mean the bumpers made by Barricade, you will probably remove the OEM splash guard. The Body Armor Skid Plate attaches in the same location, and there should be no interference. A helper to hold the plate in position while you bolt it on would be helpful. I had no helper, so I used my crawler and a box. You should be fine.

No. You will have to disconnect the strut which just snaps on. That is the only change.
