Didn you have any chance finding an aftermarket skid plate / engine undercover?
I seriously damaged it and Toyota sells it for about 300 new.
It's not worth that much, especially because is just a shield. It is only the looks...

Thats for an '04, but should be the same
Click on "Child Restraint" in the list.
It has front seat and rear seat methods.

Also, if you sign up on www.toyotaownersonline.com, you might be able to see the owners manual for your '98. I can only access the '04 because thats what I'm signed up for.

 

Do you have the little flip up table thing in your ext. cab on the back pass. side? I believe it's there for car seats.

 

Thats a cup holder.


If your looking for a skid plate I suggest Budbuilt's, i've heard nothing but good about them.

Thats correct. On the first page that shows rear seat installation in the pdf I linked it says "if your child restrant system is too large, you can use the folding table as an auxiliary support"

 

I win

 

thanks for the help guys its very muuch appritiated! and im diggin the budbuiilt skid i think ill be picking one of thoes up!

 

anyone have pics of the rear facing seat in the back of an extra cab??

 

i know my daughters britax wont fit its just to damn big some of the smaller brands fit. well like her old graco snugride fit well and safely but the large high speed low drag ones dont work.

 

i have no picture of it now but i removed the bottom cushion all together on the passenger side. put the cup holder in the up position and used the car carrier base . i had a chico carrier in it for about 6 months till i bought a double cab.

 

I had the same dilema. I could not fit a carseat in the back of my xtra-cab. I traded it for a doublecab. I found this pict.from another forum customtacos. See the picture
it will be difficult to put the child in there.
