    Mine was missing one 12mm bolt. Any options other than going to the dealer to get one? Can I use the stock 12mm bolts that came off the stock skid plate?

    Just installed my skid this morning. Went smoothly.

    Odd thing, everyone references removing the stock skid plateS. My ‘19 sport only had 1 stock skid toward the front. Does this sound correct?

    Mine was missing the two rear bolts. I reused 2 12mm bolts that came on the stock skid. Worked fine. I read that others did the same as well.

    You just have to watch for deals, earlier in the year they were 40% off and I think Black Friday was 20% off with additional discounts.

    Will a 2020 TRD OR stock skid plate fit a 2020 Tacoma TRD sport with no issues?


    Please advise and thank you,

    Yep, but you do need to remove the air dam and of course the little OEM skids that are on there.

    Yes if you remove the goofy spoiler hanging down in the front.

    A TREMENDOUS thank you to all who posted information here. Following everyone’s advice (and mistakes at times), I put anti-seize on the bolts and had it installed alone in about an hour. I like it!

    Note: this is the TRD knockoff skid plate from Amazon. I had it sprayed with bed liner.

    For the 2 years I've been considering it, they haven't.

    You missed the 40 percent off anniversary deal last year, that really made it worth buying.

    Yup. Literally by hours. Been looking for that to come back around.

    Dig the bed liner on your knockoff plate. I’m curious about your front shackles? Are they mounted diy or is there a part you need to order? Thanks

    Thanks! For the shackles, I bought these mounts. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07PGLK9CD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title You just need to remove the bolts and plate holding the factory tie down. I also bought the autobot shackles from Amazon here
    $22 AUTOBOTS Shackles 3/4" (2 Pack), D Ring Shackle 45000Ib Max Break Strength with 7/8" Pin & Isolator Washers Heavy Duty Clevis Tow Shackle for Tow Strap Jeep Vehicle Off Road Recovery Blue-Black
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08DXYBDXR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    It’s only one bolt that attaches to the frame, but it is sturdy. I wouldn’t try to pull a vehicle with them, but for pulling logs out around the farm it’s perfect.

    I still feel like there are mixed answers being thrown around. So if I'm installing tomorrow on my '17 Sport, I should or shouldn't remove that small OEM skid plate first?

    Is anti-seize what everyone used on the bolts?

    Will I be ok without a torque wrench? I'm not sure I'm able to get exactly x ft/lbs. but I can tighten them to the max.
