Unbolt factory skid plate

So I just took my taco through quite a bit of mud, and well now its time to clean her. I can get the transmission skid plate off but i can't find the bolts for the frontmost one. theres a lot of mud under there so its hard to find them.

anyone know how to pull it off?

 

There are four 12mm bolts, 2 front and 2 rear. If you clean off the mud it's pretty easy to find.

 

hm... i saw 3 front and i can't find the rear. theyre all 12mm though, youre right

 

you have 3 on the front, and i believe on your skid, you have 4 more on the front skid......2 of them are up in there a good ways, you'll need an extension to get to them.

 

alright ill go look now thanks a lot tacomaman

 

no prob man........the 2 that are up in there a ways will be a pita to see if you have alot of mud in the way.

 

yea i found them. 3 up front and 2 more that were buried up in 3" of mud. the backmost 2 are for the other plate.

thanks again guys
