    Hi was at the dealer for service on my 2015 several months ago. The tech mentioned adding the trd front skid mostly to fill the gap between the bumper and the front frame...the gap you see below the radiator. He said he has seen tree branches come up through and damage the radiator. Other than the trd aluminum skid, do other skids cover the gap similarly? I have looked at a bunch of pics on vendor sites and and so far it doesn't look like they do. Would like to stay with aluminum. Thanks in advance.

    My AllPro skid attaches to the front of the frame, so it still leaves a small gap between bumper and radiator. Since all front IFS skids should bolt to the frame I would assume all of them would leave a similar gap ... unless you get an aftermarket front bumper.
