TRD PRO Skid plate is it worth it?

Do what I do....time your order so that it's delivered when the Mrs. isn't home, then the stuff just miraculously shows up installed on the truck. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

 

OMG, I've been doing this for a while...lol. (Married 31 years, met her 32 years ago)

My "Ask For Forgiveness'" are like 9 lives...and I'm out!

She doesn't know I ordered/installed the Tailgate Lock.

She asked "how often do you open the hood?" when I ordered my "quicklift" and I told her every week to check the oil level.

Believe it or not, when I told her the epidemic going on with stolen catalytic converters (I embellished) and that I needed the Talon CAT plate for $360, she rolled her eyes and said "do it". It wasn't as much as the Sherpa Roof Rack ($790) which she definitely would notice. Maybe I can get it next year? She believes I'll never use the Roof Rack...and having it for aesthetic purposes is NOT a valid justification...lol!!!

Life goes on with my Taco & my wife. But like is known/said, "Happy Wife, Happy Life".

 

What size tires are you running? I love your setup! Hoping my 6112’s at 1.5” look similar in height to yours

 

The off road has a secondary skid plate. I believe it protects the transmission pan.

 

Yeah its just the basic Sport skid plate. I wanted more protection so had the dealer throw one in when I bought it.

 

The TRD Skid plate goes all the way to the transmission case where my Talon Cat plate is waiting for install.

I've since corrected the spacer to mesh with the cross-bar as opposed to the locking bolt.

 

So the TRD Pro has the cut outs? I was wondering, since I've seen pice with and without. Cut outs for oil changes is a big plus in my book!

 

BIG TIME YES, Bonus!!!

Ed, check this out^.

Just grabbed one myself for $306 shipped to Texas! Have the Talon Garage cat plate coming as well.

 

Just checked out at $306 as well , free shipping as well!!! To South Texas.

 

WooHoo!

Thanks fellas.

 

Are you for sure that is for a Tacoma? The information looks correct, but I'm pretty sure that picture is a 4Runner. 4Runner skid plates are definitely cheaper than Tacoma skids.

 

Checking both Part Numbers:

$459 PTR6035190 PTR60-35190

PTR6035190 - Tacoma

$403 PTR6089190 Toyota Genuine PT938-00140 TRD Stamped Aluminum Front Skid Plate

PTR6089190 - 4Runner

The link is for PART# PTR6035190 which is for the Tacoma.

 

Ordered mine this morning--$306 including shipment. Tracking will be crucial...all I gotta say.

 

Decided to pull my stock skid off to look at the damage. It did its job, but definitely needs an upgrade.


One trip. Now granted, I am bone stock and NH trails are very rocky and tight so I was banging on this thing all day, but still.

 

They ran out of stock at their location and are ordering more to fill my order + I'm sure others...ETA to location: 11/30/2021. At that time, they will ship out and provide tracking#.

I'm in no hurry to receive it...just glad I got $94 total discount and free shipping!

 

Received an e-mail with the same message. No rush here!

 

Are the red TRD letters removable, like by grinding of rivets on the back maybe? Just not a fan of the red lettering.

Edit, never mind, just read post 21 and subsequent posts. Yes they are removable.

I just sent me an email saying that the part will not fit my vehicle via vin#. So they refunded my PayPal. I just emailed them to see if it's for tacoma. FYI.
