    I went with an all pro aluminum and added a fumoto valve with hose for ease of oil change.

    What's the deal with some (all?) of these having "spacers"? What is being spaced from what? Sounds like clearance must be sacrificed. Do the RCI and allpro go over the splash shield, or in place of?

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    You remove the oem splash shield and brackets. The spacers mount towards the rear of the skid plate. Clearance is fine.

    I ran the TRD skid for two years. It's for looks and protection from small road debris. Not a good option if you bent the splash guard since it reduces clearance over the splash guard and it won't stand up to off road use.
