    Hey tw I tried to find a good looking skid plate in the search button but couldn't find anything. Not looking for anything super thick I don't wheel my truck it's a pavement queen just looking for a good replacement front skid plate since mine is rusting away and already has a few rust holes it is. I have a 2004 taco double cab

    BudBuilt.com makes a nice variety of skid plates that will last for all Toyotas. I have one and I highly recommend them.

    If you don't wheel your truck, you don't really need an expensive and heavy aftermarket skid plate. You should be able to find used, but clean, OEM plates available from guys who wheel, and have replaced them with an aftermarket unit. Then, you'll still be able to change the oil without removing the plate first.
