I overthink things! Pinch covers went on.

i have a FMI diff skid and shock skid for protection, but ive always been worried that my frame or new trailing arms that i just installed will get damaged on my next trip. I saw last week on instagram that @GregFoutz came out with a new suspension arm frame guard with a slide skid so i decided to order it to be safe. I saw the other kit he made for Bronco and was really stoked when I saw that theres another one now for Braptor.

Ever since i saw that FMI made these for Bronco, i couldn't wait for @GregFoutz to make a kit for Bronco Raptor. And then last week my friend told me that they finally released the new lower arm frame guard w/ slide skid for Braptor, immediately ordered my kit as soon as i got off work lol
Kit should be arriving just in time for me to install it before my next trip in a couple of weeks. Cant wait

Ordered mine Monday, haven’t heard anything on ship date yet tho.

Chatted with Foutz and he felt that they would work with my RCI frame mount sliders, but I won’t know til I they’re on for sure.

if you’ve got frame mounted sliders you may want to do a little due diligence before ordering. Mine are finitely sharing some real estate in the frame with the location of these lower arm skids.

good luck!

Ordered mine today and they shipped today.

Mine shipped today as well. hopefully The installation is as straightforward as it appears and the front tab lays over our slider mounts nicely.

New to the group... Planning a Rubicon Trail Run with a couple EBs and G6s. Concerned about the fenders on the BRaptor (obviously). Anyone know of a fender delete or low profile fender flare kit available? I'm aware of the full replacement fenders but was hoping there would be something more easily changeable for the trails. Tahnks in advance!

Looking for true rock crawling friendly fenders as well

So no one has input on replacement fenders ?

Not that I am aware of. I would be interested in flare deletes also.

Raptor has some battle scars on her flares (even tore two off trying to squeeze through tight spots). If I was doing the Rubicon again, I'd just take the flares off and let the liners be my soft flares. It may look funky, but it's better than staying home.

You’re going to get your moneys worth out of the rear lower control arm bracket skids! Mine got a workout day tripping into the Rubicon… those brackets are easy to hang up
