Ripped off factory black skid plate from TRD Sport

Destroyed it going over some railroad tracks. It was dark and I couldn't see, but they must have been pretty serious.

Anywhoo, I read on some other threads that you bolt the silver coated skid plate accessory over the original. That's not a possibility for me. Is there an alternative?

TIA

 

Might this be what you be looking for?



Many companies make skid plates..Mine is All-Pro..but there is relentless, budbuilt..ATO..all sorts..but mainly the same design

these are nice!!!

 

I don't take my taco off-roading. Unless you consider my little mishap urban off-roading

So, back to my orig question. Will the TRD plate replace the stock black plate or do I need to install the stock plate before installing the TRD aluminum plate?

TIA

 

For $50-100 more, you can have a real skid plate vs the cheesy TRD Plate. You would be better off just replacing the original skid if you do not go aftermarket.

 

How might I go about getting the part #?

I believe the TRD bolts over the black one as the TRD is very thin for pretty only.

 

Not what I wanted to hear. If that's the case and the cost of purchasing both parts is compatible to an aftermarket plate then I guess I will have to go aftermarket.

Thanks for the info.

 

I would just go aftermarket and be done with and have something that can take a beating. No sense replacing and adding the accessory one if you may end up just destroying again.

 

Forget the skid that comes with the Tacoma. It is for nothing more than stopping small rocks and dirt from hitting. There are several fabricators on here that produce very sturdy skid plates that do the job by themselves. I rattle canned primer and bedliner on mine.

 

Go to dealership after dark remove stock black skid from a truck off the lot and put it on your truck

 

If you're not off roading then why do you need a skid plate anyway?

 

And i think we need a little more explanation on how this happened

 

I think there is a guy on here who makes a 10 g plate vs a 1/2" plate snoop throught the second gen bst

Matt123 makes a great product, way stronger than the stock or TRD skidplate, and it's really easy to install. Looks good too, especially if you paint the TRD stamp to match the truck.
