    Can you tell me what came in the box with your skid plate? Mine came opened, mounted with 4 17mm bolts and spacers, and 1 loose 12mm bolt/washer. There were no installation instructions, or any other hardware. What am I missing?tia

    Mine came in an intact Toyota TRD cardboard box, with all (6) pre-mounted bolts and spacers, and a single sheet of installation instructions.

    The 6 bolts were premounted on the skid upon delivery (4) 17mm & (2) 12mm with spacers/retainers. I downloaded the install instructions in advance - attached. I also added a picture of the flyer that was in the box. Hope this helps.

    Thanks, Frank. Do you still have the instructions?
    Thank you very much! This is extremely helpful. Seems I only need 1 M8x1.25x 35mm bolt and 2 M8 bolt retainers to install the plate. My only other question: do the 12mm bolts at the rear flush-up to the frame (no spacers)? tia

    Ordered last night, delivered today. Gotta love Amazon prime. Quality looks good, they feel solid and have a good weight to them. I'll post pictures once installed.

    Hey all, I have seen a lot of good information but I do have a question (need opinions/past experience):
    I would like to upgrade wheels/tires and suspension; however, my plan is to do wheels/tires and some other things now and then add the suspension last (once I get some weight on the truck - bed bars, RTT, sliders, etc).
    My question is, if I put on 265/75/16 now and then later get a 2" lift (in 6 months), will the truck look bad? Has anyone done this? Im worried the lift will create dead space that I could fill with a larger tire, like 285/75/16.
    Thoughts? Opinions?

    Much appreciated!

    I'd wait on tires until you're lifted. 265 fits stock so with a lift you'll have a lot of exposed wheel well area.
