    F/S- Skid plates

    The Product:

    The design is a solid 1 piece of 3/16 carbon steel that is designed to take a much heavier beating than the stock skids.

    1st Gen Skids will fit on 95.5 to 2004 model Tacomas and 96 to 02 4Runners.

    2nd Gen Skids Fit 05 to 2014 models

    There are bends on the sides to add rigidity to the design to give it more strength. (Hence the wings you see on the sides)

    Installation:

    Simple bolt on design, just unbolt your stock skids and bolt this bad boy on. New Grade 8 bolts are provided to compensate for the thicker plate.


    Pricing:
    2nd gen skid: 200
    1st Gen Bare skid: 210
    Custom Cut: 20 (Miller M is a free cut :))
    Shipping: 50
    Powdercoating: 50

    Photos: You can also find pictures on my website!

    Any idea if these will fit with an All Pro bumper on a 2005? I am referring to the original bumper that goes under the cross member. THANKS!

    Payment is due at the time of ordering. I have broken up the shipments so those of you who pay early can get your skids sooner instead of waiting until the end of the sale. I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty big on instant gratification when it comes to buying truck accessories!

    Femmt, do you think you could post a pick of the underside of the bumper so I can see how it looks? I have seen them work on 1st gens but am unsure about 2 gens.

    Tigers, why would you NOT need this?? :)

    Capt, I can't wait to see the finished product either. I've been dying to make a transformers skid but didn't have the extra cash to just have one laying around.

    I can take one of mine later, but these shows how it wraps under the frame.

    These fit 4Runners! Will you be offering them in like 2 or 3 months? And will they fit with an aftermarket plate bumper or will some slight modifications have to be made?

    These should fit with plate bumpers, are your skid plate mounts still accessible? I should be able to crank a few out after the sale closes but I can usually get the product pushed through quicker with larger orders. Luis, 340 gets you a finished skid to your door.

    Anyone interested in placing an order can either pm me or send an email to metalmillerorders@gmail.com. I'll send you my PayPal info

    All of the pricing options are listed above.

    These look amazing, my only question is what are they made of. Steel i presume, but what thickness?

    EDIT: Never mind. I read the first post twice and still missed it. 3/16 carbon steel. got it.

    I believe it can, can you post a pic or a link where I can take a look at the arb bumper?
