3rd gen

Does anyone’s 3rd gen Tacoma 4x4 have a guard or shield under their transfer case actuator

 

I don't believe they come with one.

 

Ok thanks I noticed there is some existing bolt holes that looks like they might make something to go there but not sure I was just curious because it sure looks vulnerable

 

I thought there was one? What am I thinking of? That bent curved black sheet metal shield, is that for something else?

 

That just guards the zerk fitting on my truck lol.

 

Tundras have the real skid for the tcase, tacoma only has a spatter shield.

 

I believe I have seen the bent curved sheet metal piece your talking about in some pics on the Tacoma’s that’s why I was asking

 

That's right. It's for the grease sling on the pipe eh?

 

So should there be a splatter shield as you mentioned on the 3rd gen

 

You can buy a plate and cross member to attach it from RCI I think , comes out nice , protects the plastic box with the pin in it

 

Thanks I will check that appreciate it
