Exactly what I would like to do. The 3” all the way along with a resonator is exactly what I was looking for. Let us know how the install and performance are!
Well, I put it on today and am satisfied with the results. The Herculiner looks great so far (obviously minimal driving) and matches the rest of the truck. Anyone want to buy a 5D032A for their 2WD?
Had some time today and got the skid plate installed. Overall I am very happy with the look of the Herculiner and install was a breeze with only 4 bolts. Anyone want to buy a 5D032A? :wink:
No, if you have a 4x4 the tow hooks should have an arm that attach to the A plate. Those bolts as well as the rear ones holding the A plate are also used for the B plate. Plenty of thread to hold them both. Slightly redundant, but the coverage is much different between plates.

Tasca is my go to. I believe I paid $45 or so for shipping.
I just got the B plate in the mail today for my 4x4 non-FX4. Scrubbed the finish off with steel wool and put a few coats of Herculiner on it to match my black truck. Anxiously awaiting install upon drying.
I installed molded mud flaps a few months ago and needed to remove the screw type punch pins from the wheel well liner. Some would not spin to unlock and I ended up prying them out. Wondering if anyone has a part number for them, cannot seem to find them.
Just received my 5D032B yesterday. Scrubbed it down with steel wool and put four coats of Herculiner on it today for aesthetics and scuff resistance. Waiting for it to dry overnight before installing. One (and-a-half) questions for those that have worked with these: Does the 5D032A stay in...
There are a few other threads going over this. There are a series of skid plates for the Ranger, the FX4 having all of them. I am not 100% positive, but I believe all 4x4 models, without FX4, have all but the front metallic plate, FD032B. See the diagram below:
After reading through this I am still a little confused on a couple things, wondering if anyone could clarify.
I have an XLT with 301A and Black Appearance Package and would like to install the 5D032-B skid plate from the FX packages (mostly for looks) and am wondering if I have or need any...
I finally got some pictures off my phone from my install. Overall, not a super hard install, but it definitely took some maneuvering and elbow grease. One huge piece of advice came from this Youtube video, which recommends loosening the intercooler bolts for a bit more clearance. The first...
