Heavy-Duty Front-End Armor. 90-Minute Bolt-On. Ultimate Steering & Engine Protection.
The First Line of Defense for Your BroncoThe CBI Off-road Front Overland Skid Plate is engineered to be the primary shield for your 2022+ Ford Bronco’s most sensitive components. The front undercarriage houses the steering rack and engine vitals—components that are dangerously exposed when navigating rocks, stumps, and deep trail ruts.
Crafted from heavy-duty steel, this front skid plate isn't just about protection; it's about confidence. It allows you to tackle vertical ledges and technical terrain knowing your drivetrain is safely tucked behind a wall of American-made steel.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory front-end protection is often flimsy, and many aftermarket skids don't offer the clearance needed for serious wheeling. One "hidden" rock can snap a tie rod or crack an oil pan.
The CBI Solution: We provide a Heavy-Duty Steel ramp that slides over obstacles. Our 100% Bolt-On design ensures you aren't drilling into your new Bronco’s frame.
Key Features: The Front Overland Armor
Unlike aluminum which can gouge and "grab" rocks, our steel construction allows your Bronco to slide over obstacles effortlessly.
The Front Overland Skid uses factory mounting points. It’s a 100% bolt-on assembly that preserves your Bronco's frame integrity.
Specifically contoured to protect the vulnerable steering rack components from direct impact and trail debris.
Available in a durable Satin Black powder coat for maximum corrosion resistance, or Bare Metal for custom color matching.
Trail-Tested in the Harshest ConditionsFrom the Mojave Desert to the high Sierras, CBI Off-road products are tested where it matters most. This front skid is designed to work as a standalone piece or integrate with the full CBI Overland system to provide total underbody coverage.
Steel Construction 1.5 hrs Install Time 2022+ Fitment 1" Max Diff Drop
"The peace of mind this front skid provides is worth every penny. After installing an aftermarket bumper, I realized how exposed the steering rack was. This CBI skid bolted right up and has already saved my oil pan from a nasty stump in the woods. Solid, heavy-duty, and looks aggressive."
- Mark T., Ford Bronco Owner Critical Compatibility WarningsBumper Compatibility: This front skid is NOT compatible with the factory front bumper. It is designed to work with CBI or other compatible aftermarket bumpers.
Mechanical Exclusions: This skid is NOT compatible with the factory disconnecting sway bar and can only accommodate up to a 1″ differential drop.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
The factory front bumper has structural supports and plastic trim that sit low and occupy the same space as this heavy-duty skid plate. To achieve the protection and clearance levels provided by CBI, you must move to an aftermarket bumper system.
If your Sasquatch trim includes the disconnecting sway bar, this skid plate is unfortunately not compatible. The mechanism for the sway bar disconnect interferes with the skid mounting points.
CBI uses heavy-duty steel for front skids because the front is the most frequent point of impact. Steel allows you to slide over rocks without the metal gouging or grabbing, which can happen with softer aluminum.
CBI skids are designed to tuck as tightly to the frame as possible. While the thickness of the steel adds a fraction of an inch, the smooth surface actually makes you more capable by allowing you to slide over obstacles that would catch on the factory frame crossmembers.
No, this listing is for the Front Skid Only. The gas tank skid is sold separately, allowing you to build your overland protection system as your budget allows.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
