    While detailing the truck this AM, I noticed the front valance was pretty flappy. After further inspection it looks like there are three faster holes that are not being used. Pretty sure this is not supposed to be like this. Can anyone confirm rather theirs is or isn’t secured?

    Is it 2WD or 4WD? 4WD have a metal skid plate that 3 screws hold the front valence down. If you have 2WD then you can just put clips in the outer holes and secure to the brace above, I cannot remember if the middle lines up to clip it or not.

    Ahh. It’s a 4x4 but I had a 4.5” BDS put in. They must have removed the factory skid. Ill go get some hardware and secure it up.

    This is on a 2019 2WD, if you wanted the stock look. Most that I've seen without the skid plate just use clips.

    And they didn't give the skid plate back to you?

    Or maybe they put in a diff drop but couldn't be bothered to add spacers so that the skid plate would go back on?
