Northern Virginia Roll Call

I just took off my stock TRD skidplate. It hasnt been wheeled or anything so there are no dings, just some street grime. In the rare case that someone wants it, I would let it go for $125...have it curently posted on CL.

the raffle is on 10 NOV. I will be present at the Masonic Lodge for it. $45 gets you 10 tickets instead of 9. Otherwise it is $5 each ticket.

 

Wait, sorry...$10 each ticket or 5 for $45.

 

If it'll fit a 3rd Gen, I'll take it.

 

Looks like it will line up but will probably need longer bolts. We can meet up and see if you want. You going to be around anywhere this weekend?

As far as I know I am wide open tomorrow after about 10 in the morning. When/where?

 

I will be around the Vienna area tomorrow. I think I might stop by a dealership today and have a look.

Let me do some research on the fit. Is it an OEM part? Do you happen to know the PN?

 

According to https://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=-101, it appears that there's some difference. No idea what exactly, but different PNs between the years.

 

I just sat underneath a 17 and it seems dimension wise the holes line up. The bottom of the skid plate might drop slightly more. It is an oem TRD for the 2005-2015. Only way to really know is to try it out. I found another thread discussing it will fit iust meeds longer bolts I think? Could be worth a shot.

Picked up this today
CVT mt. Shasta from a guy in MD!

 

Well... I'm willing to give it a shot, but I would hate to waste your time if it doesn't. Vienna is about an hour for me, so let me know when and where you want to meet up...

 

2nd Gen:

3rd Gen:


Hmmmm.....

 

looks like different shapes to me..

 

My thought too...

 

I say if you haven't got a skid plate by the next meet up and j still have it then we can test it out. To drive an hour on a whim ain't worth it. The shape is different but I don't know if that means this one won't bolt up either though. The stock skid on the 17 looks almost identical to mine.

@Coot83 the supercharger GB got to 20% off... now ive got a real problem..

eventual plan would be to regear.. around $2k
supercharger.. $4k + 65 for shipping
or RTT, etc.. so much cheaper!

 

That sounds cool and all, but when do you plan to buy a third gen?

I think it's time to man up!

im not a fan of the grille.. no offense @Truggin

If anything, Id want an FJ. Probably could have had a stock Taco and stock FJ.. or modded Taco and no FJ hah!

 

Dude just keep it simple and get both...problem solved!
