Best skid plate plus looks

I’m thinking of getting the TRD Pro skid, painting it black, and doing the “trd” in cement.. anyone do anything like this? Does anywhere sell color matched “trd” emblems for the skid plate? Also I guess powder coating would be the only black to hold up well on a skid plate huh?

 

It is far from best skid plate. It all depends on your primary use though.

 

My title was more of a question lol... guess I should ave worded it better.. actually looking for recommendations and was just throwing my idea out there

All skids are essentially the same besides Relentless and BAMF which offer 1/4in steel. You can have the entire weight of the truck on them and not flinch. As far as the TRD skid. I would be afraid of hitting a snow bank in them. There are plenty of skid companies. Look up pelfreybilt, Mobtown, sos and the ones previously mentioned. See what suits your needs

 

Mobtown for me in the spring!

 

So trd sucks ? Too thin?

 

There's a group buy going on for BPF

See if that fits your needs

 

Look at post 4

 

I'm not saying it sucks. I'm just saying it's too thin for my use.

 

Pelfreybilt!!

 

My mobtown is 1/4" steel.
Steel is real.
And also heavy

 

We stopped offering 1/4" steel, slow mover. Went back to the drawing board and started offering reinforced 3/16" steel which is actually stronger in regards to deflection and lighter than the 1/4" steel. We offer reinforced 1/4" aluminum too. And for the guys that don't need indestructible, you can get them without reinforcements and save a good bit of money.

I have the same 1/4in but I also have it reinforced like their new models. It's indestructible now.

 

Is there a set of skids that clears the stock exhaust routing today that can be converted to tuck up higher or smoother after I do an exhaust re-route?

 

The companies I named earlier all have versions that tuck up for reroute

 

If the skid is powder coated first- you think @rrentrop s decals will stick ?

 

Looks like you are stuck with one setup or another. I don't want to buy skids again after the re-route.

 

This issue comes with the way the t case plate bolts to the truck.

 

Why not just wait to do the reroute then buy the relocated skid.
