    i picked up a TRD skid plate today but am missing a mounting bracket. Does anyone have any that are looking to get rid of? Or where, besides the dealer, can I pick some up? TIA

    You need to remove the original plate and two front arms from the original plate. The trd plate replaces them. I'll see if I can find them they seeing the attic with a stack of replaced BS parts from my off road.

    There isn't any brackets to insatll. You remove the plates and 2 brackets from your Gen 3. Then install the TRD Skid plate where the removed braces were installed.

    That's ok. I appreciate your willingness to help. As a matter of fact the guy who I got the skid plate from found the missing bracket. It's gonna be a Good Friday for me!

    Score... Enjoy it. I think I have a small ding in mine. The aluminum foil OEM would have folded.
