Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law that applies to all companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a “right-to-know” law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65. These warnings are required to be in place for all products offered for sale in California.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including Automotive Performance products, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as hotels, restaurants, automobile dealerships/repair shops, and retail stores just to name a few.
To comply with the requirements of Proposition 65, this warning is present on all products sold by MPT.

This RIVAL aluminum engine skid plate (part no. 2333.1885.1.6) delivers robust underbody protection for 2024‑25 Ford Ranger (including Raptor) and 2021‑25 Ford Bronco (2‑door or 4‑door). Designed and engineered in Houston, TX, this deep‑stamped ¼‑inch aluminum alloy shield replaces the factory thin steel guard to defend the engine bay from rocks, logs, road debris, and scrapes. Because it bolts into existing mounting points with no drilling required, it offers serious protection with minimal installation headache. The corrosion resistance of aluminum ensures that even if the surface coating is scratched, the plate will resist rusting over time. For off‑roaders, adventurers, or anyone who drives rough terrain, this skid plate is a smart upgrade to safeguard critical engine components.
Key Features
Laser‑cut, deep‑stamped ¼″ (0.25 in) aluminum alloy construction for strength and rigidity
Designed to bolt to factory mounting points — no drilling or cutting required
Thicker and stronger than the factory 0.1″ steel guard it replaces
Coated with zinc primer and a powder‑coat finish to resist corrosion
Drain and service access cutouts facilitate oil change without full removal
Weight is approximately 10 lbs, so it adds protection with minimal weight penalty
Can be installed using provided hardware or reused factory bolts depending on underbody setup
Compatible with other RIVAL skid plates (transmission, transfer case) for full underbody coverage
Benefits
Reduces risk of damage to engine and lower accessories, improving off‑road confidence
Lightweight design avoids burdening drivetrain performance
High corrosion resistance prolongs service life even in harsh environments
Simplifies maintenance through access cutouts, minimizing downtime
No permanent modification to vehicle — fully reversible
Backed by manufacturer warranty (verify with MPT Performance for specific terms)
Helps retain resale value by protecting vital components against cumulative wear
Product Specs
Thickness: ¼ inch (approx. 6.35 mm) aluminum alloy
Construction: Deep‑stamped, laser cut, rigid reinforcing ribs
Finish: Zinc primer + powder coat (matte metallic silver)
Weight: ~10 lbs
Color: Matte metallic silver
Hardware: Includes bracketry, bolts, washers, insert nuts; option to use factory hardware
Drain/Service Access: Removable cutouts or plug‑outs aligned to oil filter and pan

Install Difficulty Level
Installation is designed to be user‑friendly. Estimated install time is about 30 minutes. Because the skid plate mounts to factory points and does not require drilling, installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills and hand tools. Occasional trimming of felt liners or use of a tap for hardware may ease alignment. As one user noted, “It only took about an hour in total.”
Vehicle Fitment
This skid plate is compatible with 2024–2025 Ford Ranger (including Raptor variants) and 2021–2025 Ford Bronco in 2‑door and 4‑door configurations. It fits both common engine configurations used in those models.
Carb / Emissions Approval
No publicly confirmed EO number, CARB EO ID, or CARB executive order has been found for this part. Therefore, it is not listed as CARB approved.
