    Hi guys, I found a great deal on a set of used relentless fab skid plates. The owner has them on a v6 dcsb Tacoma and I want to put them on a 2.7 ac. I looked on relentless website and there is an option for an exhaust cross member drop or something. Will this bolt up to my truck? Don't really feel like hacking up my factory exhaust. Thanks also what do these roughly go for used and has an body had issues with this set up?

    They won't bolt up unless you re route the exhaust

    IIRC these won't fit your truck. I know ours don't fit between a V6 and a 4cyl. Transmission crossmember is in different spot. Also, the pic shown works for exhaust that's been rerouted. But I can't see if you're buying a transfer case skid too. Did you contact Eric @RelentlessFab ? I'm sure he will verify all this better than I can. Designs are a little different so I'd ask him first.

    The seller does have the tcase plate, he just never installed it. Maybe I can modify the plate to mount up?

    You could buy you still have to re route the crosse member.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    I believe they should work (IFS+ mid) but the T case skid would need work. If tthey have has the cross over drop style tcase for the V6, it'll be a clearance killer on the 4cyl, plus you'd need to enlarge the notch at the back edge of the tcase skid for your exhaust to clear.

    OK thanks for the tips. For $200 I don't think can go wrong. Guess I will bust out the grinder and go to town

    Here is a pic of the skid in question. Any help would be great. I'm guessing where the plate have the drop is where I should make flush for better clearance
