Introduction

This guide will walk through the correct installation procedure for the Grimm OffRoad 2015+ F-150 Transfer Case Skid Plate.

Consumer Warning

All Grimm OffRoad products must be installed by a competent and qualified individual in accordance with the installation instructions intended for the product. Incorrectly installed products will void any warranties and may result in damage to the product or damage to the vehicle it was installed on. Read any provided instructions or guides and watch any available videos before attempting installation. If there are any questions, please contact Grimm OffRoad before starting installation.

Many products require the vehicle be properly raised and supported off the ground. The installer is responsible for confirming that this may be done in a safe manner and the correct equipment is available to perform the installation. Grimm OffRoad installation instructions assume the installer is able to properly and safely lift the vehicle.

Vehicles that have been modified will not perform the same as a stock vehicle. It is incumbent upon the owner of the vehicle to be aware of the differences the modifications will make to the driving characteristics of the vehicle. These may include (but are not limited to): changes in handling, braking, rollover angle, incompatibilities with the factory anti-lock braking systems, stability control systems, or traction control systems.

Notes

  • Installation is shown on a gas v8 truck. Diesel and EcoBoost trucks may look different with different coolers, but installation is the same.
  • This skidplate is part of a complete skidplate group. This skidplate can be installed individually, but compatibility with other aftermarket skidplates is not guaranteed.
