    Just bought a Gen 3 Tacoma Off road and wanted to add a skid plate. Was looking for any suggestions of steel skid plates at a decent price.

    I picked up @Mobtown Offroad aluminum IFS and mid skid, super beefy and I think in your price range (steel or aluminum). For me it was an easy choice since Mobtown has great reviews and are local to me.

    I've got Mobtown's steel, and they're in your price range. I bought bare-metal because spraybomb is easier to fix than powdercoat when it gets scraped off. Real solid, great build quality.

    Now if they'd just send me my dang sliders!

    I went from BAMF to RCI. I like the cutout RCI provides for oil changes.
