    I got the extended dust cover set for the underside. I also got 2 other bracket type protectors I am struggling to find diagrams for. My truck came with the big dust shield so I have an extra one but I don't see the brackets or rear smaller shield.
    Can someone snap a few shots of theirs so I can get them installed?
    Or perhaps a whiz at these diagrams.
    Appreciate it very much.

    I figured out where the smaller dust shield goes. It actually connects to the one that is existing. I cant for the life of me figure out what these two brackets do. They are some kind of guard but no idea. I think they are on a 2018-2020 TRD OR.
    Please advise if you know.

    Those are the stock skid plates like came on my 2021 Off Road. I took mine off and use the TRD skid plate now. Never heard them called dust covers.

    This other two are the support brackets. See the video below. When he takes off the stock skid plates, you will see where the two of them tie into the install. They have the hangers for the skid plates.

    Dust cover or splash guard is a much more appropriate name. Skid plate implies strength.
