Plate to cover radiator
Looking a plate that covers the gap between front bumper cover and front skid plate to protect radiator. Is there a plate that works with factory skid plate?

CBI plate doesn't seem to work with factory skid. Thanks

What you are looking for is available from RCI for about $75. I bought one last year for my'03 to protect radiator after y=mx+b damaged his radiator with a piece of ice after driving through a deep frozen puddle.
I can't find the receipt or I'd give you the p/n.

A side note for those looking for radiator protection. The ARB Deluxe bumper comes with a plate that covers it and bolts to the RCI skid / OEM skids.

I welded up a little plate because I didn't want to pay for the RCI plate





Then I made a better skid the replace the OEM skid, and it works well with that too



I think the RCI plate would probably work with the OEM skid, but you'd probably have to layer it under the OEM skid due to the stamped shape of the OEM, rather than bolt on top of an afermarket like shown


and yes, I borked my radiator on an ice chunk lol

Nice work. Agree with your assessment that RCI plate could work with OEM front skid. Probably just need to find two longer bolts to bolt RCI under the OEM skid.

The OME front skid plate has two little hooks in the front, which prevent RCI plate going over.
