    2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 regular package not the sport
    First Post: Love my first truck 2017 Tacoma 4x4...having double hip surgery figured the driver's handle would be great to purchase. I have tried emailing, Instagram Texting as well as calling the KTJO4x4 Company. I have received nothing.
    If anyone has a way to contact "Katie" or another company that makes them I would appreciate knowing.
    I am interested in getting a better skid plate on the front as well as the transmission. There are a lot of choices out there so figured I might see opinions on what others bought. I figured my main goal is to protect the front underneath as well as the transmission.
    Again I know nothing and willing to learn.
    Thank you Ahead of Time

    There's about five or six different email addresses that we were given. I will send them to you in the morning when I can search better.

    Buyer beware though! It is not Toyota quality and the pillar attachments are unproven long term, esp if you are relying on it to get in and out.

    Just be cautious.

    Lol I haven’t purchased one simply because it’s a KTJO4x4 product. It’s a great idea and I hope someone else jumps on it.

    RCI skid plates Mobtown sliders Lots of patches and MESO stuff
    You've already heard about, and experienced, the level of customer service to expect from ktjo4x4. I'll pile on by pointing out that tacomabeast mostly resells low quality chinese junk, isn't known for any better customer service, and documented their own vandalising of public land in Moab.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacomabeast-douche-bags.598111/
    https://kutv.com/news/local/instagr...ism-at-san-rafael-swell-in-south-central-utah

    For sliders skid plates, you may want to try finding someone local, or within a short drive, that makes them. Shipping costs could add 50-100% to the cost. If you are near north central Colorado, I'd recommend @RCI-Offroad https://rcimetalworks.com/. I have their steel skid plates. They were easy to install, and have saved the bottom of my truck multiple times.

    An important thing to also consider is your location and the manufacturer's locations since shipping can get expensive for those heavier items.
