    i personally like this top one more, and i wasn't sure if you were still planning on making custom ones after your first batch, but I was actually considering having one with the UF gator's head on it :eek:

    measurements off his were (bottom of his was damaged).

    Top= 62.7225
    Below top= 74.295
    bottom= 88.9
    height= 31.115

    And The top one isn't bad but its right on the stock logo and wanted to show I can do different ones... I would really like to do custom for each person unless it is too detailed where it IS a skid plate lol

    ok his are pretty close to mine, cept for that below top one, i take it was measured in inches and you converted to get the decimals? I'll recheck my measurements tomorrrow though, also,i wouldn't worry about the TRD thing, if you want to make it just make it til someone from corporate says otherwise, I don't think it's gonna be a big deal

    Yeah I measured in inches... this is about one of my only projects which doesn't have to be perfect to 0.001 of an inch lol... and that's what I'm wondering, I just don't wanna meet big Bubba in the prison system haha if I used TRD. It will be good to see what you get.

    I bought a new 4 runner and had a leftover aries bull bar... so i color matched it to mag grey but the mounting is different on the 2011 runner. prolly should have checked this first lol but does anyone know how to overcome this obstacle and use my aries tacoma bull bar on my runner?
