RCI Skid Help

You are correct sorry that was a piece I had to remove for my old bumper install. Sorry I taken so many pieces off I can't really recall why I took some off. lol

 

I installed a couple of RCI skid plates last night (transmission and A-arm). It looks like it is intended to remove the cross members to properly install the transmission plate, but the directions didn't specifically mention that. Anybody have any insight on this?

Also, I ran into an issue with the passenger side A arm plate where the bolt in the rear hole didn't seem to be long enough - it only went about 1/2 the way through the nut when fully tightened. Anybody else?

 

Reverse the bolts for the LCA's, 2 of the 4 are longer to accommodate the different length. I can post a pic tonight when I get home for the cross member.

 

wrong thread

 

Do you know which part# we need for 2016 tacoma?

The parts for 2016 are 77601-04060 and 77602-04060 but those parts are not available from Toyota. The part for the 2014s are the same. Those numbers are 77601-04020 and 77602-04020. Just ordered mine yesterday. Set me back 110 with shipping. Hope this helps.

 

Sorry, what do you mean by "not available from Toyota'?! As in just sold out right now?

No I called Toyota because the original parts had been discontinued which I thought was odd for a new truck since it's only a 2016. They said the parts were discontinued because they are identical to the parts for the 2014. I guess we will see though. Hopefully mine will be here this week and I can let you know.

 

Update
Installed the new fuel tank straps. They worked. the updated part numbers were correct

 

Got any photos of the gas tank shield installed?
Did you take that stupid side shield off?

 

Anyone using a sway bar relocation with their front skid?

 

I have rci aluminum skid and just installed fox coilovers using the provided sway bar drop bracket. No issues.
