    Damn guys! You're fast!!!! Thank you very much!!!

    I thought the cross bars were to hold the engine skid plate, I was wrong... what exactly do they protect? As I see on the pic they are located on the front of the truck???

    Yes, they are. The picture I posted is from the actual instructions for the TRD Pro skid plate. The arrows pointing to the 4 bolts are removed and are replaced with bolts that are attached to the new plate. The rest remain in place.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    I'm about to order a front, trans, and transfer from RCI.

    What do you guys think about the fuel tank, a-arms, and rear diff skids? I don't do too much rock crawling, but there are rocks on the trails
