    Been eyeballing the RCI metalworks skid plates, I have a PRO TRD skid plate in the front. Would anyone happen to know if I'd be able to fit the transmission, transfer and gas tank skids with the PRO TRD skid or would overlapping occur?

    Just because I love my RCI skid. Thought painting it a color instead of black would make the truck abstract haha20170527_172616.jpg

    I have been looking at the RCI front skid plate as well. I like it because it has the cutout for oil filter access whereas I could not find that option for the Pelfrey. How much coverage does this give compared to the TRD plate? It appears that the RCI looks smaller but it could just be the pic. Thanks!

    TRD plates arent as strong as the RCI or Pelfrey. Pelfrey are wider than RCI giving more coverage underneath.

    Can you get a Pelfrey with the cutout for the oil filter access? I don't want to have to drop the plate every time I change oil.
