    5100's 1.5 front. 1 inch Eibach block in the rear. KO3 285/70/17 RRW RR6-H 17x8.5.
    Anyone have any experiences with this TRD bro skid plate from eBay? Other than the missing stamp the thing looks identical. Any feedback is appreciated.

    Get actual skids if you plan on playing in the rocks. Anything else and this would be fine

    Exactly, RCI has a sale right now. I picked up an engine and transmission / free cat guards.

    I have the one from Amazon that looks identical. Not a bad option for $200.

    It's 1/4 thick just like the TRD PRO skid and looks the same minus the TRD stamp. It's definitely a huge upgrade over the stock offroad sheet metal that they come with. Will it be as strong as a CBI/RCI/overland bro brand steel skid? Probably not! But still a decent upgrade over stock, and looks cool too in my opinion.
