Don't climb rocks or sling mud but I do run over saplings

    Looking for products to protect truck from damage. I need to drive over tree stumps over brush piles and through saplings. Thinking skid plate for brush pile need suggestions for pushing down saplings and traversing stumps

    I have a piece of property, raw land in the country, and spend a fair amount of time there. There are places that can only be accessed by vehicle if you drive through some brush and small trees. I've had some form of brush guard on my previous trucks, and will eventually get one for the new Tacoma as well, either that or some sort of beefed up front bumper. Haven't decided on what yet, but it sounds like that is what is needed for that sort of usage.

    I'm pretty much in the same boat, brush and saplings when hunting or retrieving deer.
    If you don't want to go full plate bumper check these out.

    Agree with others.

    Full aftermarket skids and a plate bumper. And sliders could be protective on the sides.

    Finish it with a top end bedliner.

    No bull bar or brush guard stuff.

    If really worried about "brush guard" get some hoops on a plate bumper

    Thanks guys, a full set of skid plates for sure.
    Anyone used MAMF's trio? If I got a recovery type bumper with a 2"receiver I could mount a "T" bar for when I go one of by sapling murder spree's.
