    None at the moment. The skids are all at my friends shop. I'll have him take a full pic of the skids tomorrow

    I have RCI Skids on my 2016 Tacoma. They fit mine, just fine.
    Perhaps, you have the wrong skids.

    Yeah thanks to JoshS investigative work I think they sent me 4 Runner skids. I also remember the other skids the bag of bolts had a label that said FJ, T4R on there as well.

    So, it WAS good you didn't go drilling your own holes. Get the right stuff my friend. After you smash them and fuck them up, THEN you can start hammering and modifying them.

    RCI stuff bolts up real easy no issues on any of their stuff I have put on. Clearly a shipping error just think of the guy who is pissing and moaning about those damn RCI skids not fitting his T4R.

    Most likely sent the wrong plates. I originally ordered an engine and tranny skid and they didn't send the correct hardware for that order. Then I ordered a t-case skid a few months later (shoulda just bought all three :facepalm: originally) and they sent me two t-case skids, but no cross member.

    There customer service will do you right. But whoever is shipping out their orders is a space cadet.

    Yeah, fully understandable on shipping errors. We all make errors, not a big deal as long as it gets fixed.

    Glad to hear their customer service is good. I've heard horror stories from a friend that had a bad experience with one of their competitors and was hoping RCI wouldn't do me wrong.

    same thing happened to me. Got the plate, noticed the bolts didn’t fit the front holes. I confirmed it was the correct box label and my order confirmation was correct, and the parts label was correct and thought, “guess it’s just the powder coat causing them to be too small” and drilled them out bigger.
    Got it lined up and found that the bolt was an inch off from the hole. So frustrating. Going to call rci Monday and hope they help me out even though I drilled the holes a little bigger before realizing it doesn’t fit anyways.
