RCI Fuel Tank Skid Plate – 2021+ Ford Bronco 2-Door | BRONCO-21-FUEL-2DR

Protect the large, low-hanging fuel tank on your 2021+ Ford Bronco 2-Door with the RCI Off Road Fuel Tank Skid Plate, part #BRONCO-21-FUEL-2DR.

The Bronco's fuel tank sits low beneath the vehicle, making it vulnerable to impacts from rocks, ledges and other trail obstacles. Its size and location can also create a potential high-centering point when traveling over difficult terrain.

RCI designed this heavy-duty fuel tank skid to provide substantial protection while maintaining a smooth, flat surface that helps your Bronco slide over obstacles instead of becoming hung up on the fuel tank area.

Available in your choice of 3/16-inch steel or lightweight 1/4-inch aluminum, the RCI Fuel Tank Skid Plate is an excellent upgrade for 2-door Broncos used for off-roading, rock crawling, overlanding and trail driving.

Protect Your Bronco's Fuel Tank

The fuel tank on the 6th-generation Ford Bronco is both large and positioned relatively low underneath the vehicle.

When traveling over rocks, ledges, ruts and uneven terrain, the fuel tank area can potentially make contact with trail obstacles. A direct impact can damage the tank or surrounding components, while the low position can also contribute to high-centering the vehicle.

The RCI Fuel Tank Skid Plate creates a substantial protective barrier underneath this vulnerable area.

It's an excellent upgrade for Broncos used for:

• Off-roading

• Rock crawling

• Overlanding

• Trail driving

• Camping

• Hunting and backcountry travel

• Technical terrain

• General underbody protection

Steel or Aluminum

RCI offers the BRONCO-21-FUEL-2DR in two material options.

3/16" Steel

The steel version is designed for owners who need maximum impact resistance for rugged and rocky terrain.

• Heavy-duty 3/16" steel construction

• Excellent impact resistance

• Ideal for demanding off-road terrain

• Heavy-duty black powder coat available

• Excellent corrosion protection when powder coated

• Approximate weight: 63 lbs.

Steel is an excellent choice for rock crawling, technical trails and Broncos that regularly encounter demanding terrain.

1/4" Aluminum

The aluminum version provides substantial fuel tank protection while dramatically reducing added vehicle weight.

• Heavy-duty 1/4" aluminum construction

• Substantially stronger than factory skid plate protection

• Excellent rust and corrosion resistance

• Does not require a protective finish before installation

• Excellent strength-to-weight ratio

• Approximate weight: 25 lbs.

At approximately 25 lbs. versus 63 lbs. for steel, the aluminum version saves roughly 38 lbs. while still providing substantial fuel tank protection.

This makes aluminum particularly attractive for overlanding, daily-driven Broncos and builds where controlling overall vehicle weight is important.

Smooth, Flat Skid Surface

RCI designed the bottom of the fuel tank skid with a smooth, flat surface that helps the Bronco slide across rocks, ledges and other trail obstacles.

This is particularly important around the Bronco's large fuel tank, where exposed edges or an unprotected tank can create a potential snag or high-centering point.

The skid creates a more uniform surface underneath the fuel tank area while providing a substantial layer of protection.

Direct Bolt-On Installation

RCI designed the BRONCO-21-FUEL-2DR for straightforward installation using the Bronco's existing factory attachment points.

NO DRILLING REQUIRED.

All necessary mounting hardware is included.

Material & Finish Options

Depending on your selected configuration, RCI offers:

3/16" Steel

• Bare metal

• Heavy-duty black powder coat

1/4" Aluminum

• Bare aluminum

• Black powder coat

Raw aluminum provides excellent natural corrosion resistance and does not require a protective finish before installation.

Black powder coat provides a durable finished appearance and additional surface protection.

2-Door vs. 4-Door Bronco

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR THE 2-DOOR FORD BRONCO.

Ford uses different fuel tank configurations between the 2-door and 4-door Bronco, so fuel tank skid plates should not be assumed interchangeable.

If you have a 4-door Ford Bronco, select the appropriate RCI 4-door fuel tank skid plate instead.
