Install TRD skid plate over stock?

I gave mine away after getting repairing/bending it back a few times

 

No problem man, everybody that has bought one seems to love them as their design and protection level seem damn good compared to the flimsy trd oem one. Have fun with it!

 

Bought. They ought to send you a commission check!

 

Not sure what the trd skid looks like but my stock one is a cheep aluminum piece of shot. Dented in going through snow drifts. Here is a picture of it when I bought the truck in december.

 

I wouldn't call the TRD skid plate fake, as some others have. I ran one for a couple of years, and it did it's job. Eventually I damaged it enough that I had to cut it out, along with the two factory splash guards. Several wheeling trips in Vermont and a 10k mile overland trip finally put it to rest.

Mild off roadong and aesthetics, go TRD. Longevity, look aftermarket like Pelfreybilt IFS and Mid Skids.

 

That's the TRD skid. It is definitely thin and prone to damage, but still protects to an extent.

 

Got a agree when I saw it I was thinking what that could of done to my diff or pan. Going fast through snow covered fields is fun but can be destructive. Doesn't help that I still have the worst tires on the truck for snow running. Quietest tires I ever had though.
