    hey guys i just wondering if there is any axel/crossmember protection for a taco with IFS? reason: smacked a pretty big rock today and luckly it only made a small dent in ( i guess its a corssmember if not its the section thats about 3x3" and sits the lowest and front most)

    i would rather not weld cuz i only have a small welder


    thanks
