Skid Plates 02 TRD

I've now had my Toy for about three months, and have managed to get it buried in deep snow drifts three times. The first time, after an hour of shoveling, when I backed out, the (2nd?) skid plate (it attaches under the farthest one forward) ripped out of a few bolt holes, and did a little crumple job. I sorta straightened it out, and wired it back up, figuring I'd do a real fix when it wasn't ten below zero. Last night, I got buried again, and when I got pulled out, the wiring broke, and the plate is pretty much totaled at this point. Any recommendations as far as replacement skid plates for the whole truck? I'm not probably ever going to deal with rocks, but logs, stumps, ice, mud and hardpack snow are a weekly possibility. Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Hey man,

I'm got an 02 aswell 'cept I stay out of where I cant get out I have the 4x2

I would just try doing a search online your bound to find something. I like the look of the silver vented skid plates that attatch to a bully bar.

 

man I cant remember the name but I had skids on my one tacoma that went from frame rail to frame rail and made you re-clock the transfer case so it was completely flat under neath....look up like tacoma belly pan or full skid

I saw the same thing somewhere, but I can't remember either.
