    Hello

    I live in Edmonton, AB, and I was wondering where I could find a skid plate for the aforementioned truck. I noticed some mentions that the pro/OR plate wont fit a sport. I'd also like to avoid them as they're a pretty penny. Though, I've also noticed that a lot of aftermarket plates only cover the front end and oil pan. Stupid that I didn't buy the OR package originally, but I didn't consider that I might have gotten into off-roading at the time of purchase. Are there any aftermarket suggestions?

    A 2016 Trd off-road skid will bolt up on a 2017 trd Sport
    I paid $20 for mine from a Facebook marketplace post. I also have access to a paint booth and bake oven. It’s a
    upgrade from my stock ‘17 Sport skid (more like a grill pan than a skid..lol)
    Now I have a 2 piece set and they threw in the bolts because he bought a pro skid plate and the stock ones don’t work on the pro skid!
    (Maybe that’s what you got mixed up on)
    You need different bolts for the Trd pro skid!

    Day I bought it (yesterday)

    Trust me you can get a Off Road skid for next to nothing and some scotch brite and paint it’s a huge upgrade. Once I get my bolts cleaned, sprayed and anti-seize applied, I’ll mount it.
