    What would yall think if i put a skid plate on my taco? Its a street truck.. never will see offroading or anything, here's a pic of her:

    I had an idea maybe one would look kinda cool on her. Advice/comments? and do they just bolt right on?

    This is the one i would want: (black and all) pic taken from the Maryland Meet thread, he is a member on here.
