what is it for?

My 2006 Pre-Runner (used) has an aluminum plate mounted under the front bumper that curves upward with the contour of the bumper. What is it for? If it is a skid plate it doesn't look like it would stand up to very much. I have seen similar ones that are actually attatched to a Bull Bar like this http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/subpages/westin_bullbar-lightbar.html but mine is only the plate without the tubing. I haven't seen one on any other tacomas locally.

 

Is it like 2 feet wide and 6 inches wide? If so yeah it's a crappy little skid plate. I see them mostly on 1st gen tundras around here but I've seen them on a couple of tacomas too.

 

Hey I like my little skid plate...lol...you are going to give me skid plate envy.

 

looking at the picture of your truck, it comes up in front of the part of your bumper that is black.

 

I had not put it on yet...as of that pic

 

Hah...you beat me to the post...I was actually talking about KPTs picture of his truck

 

Yeah then I think we are talking about the same thing....

 

Pictures would help tremendously...

 

I know...I'm working on the pictures. I already have them on the camera, but my daughter borrowed my card reader and hasn't brought it back yet so I can't load them to the computer.
