BAMF IFS skids

Copy that! Thanks Jerry

 

Is there a lead time for a IFS skid plate for a 2nd gen?

 

A few days for steel bare metal.

 

The other 2/3rds of the Skid Trilogy finally mounted up after sitting in my garage waiting for a exhaust reroute.

 

I’ll find out in a month. That’s what I have. They should. Only real difference is we have 2 wheel drive. We have off road frames.

 

Will these fit an 06 4runner?

 

no

 

Anyone know if I can use a floor jack under the front skid to lift the front end up? I have the aluminum skid and not sure if if it can the weight with both tires in the air.

 

I do it all the time with my steel skid. As long as you lift right along the line of the middle mounting points I can't see the aluminum having a problem doing this either.

 

Yes you can. Just center it over the front bolts and use a 2x4 to span them to be cautious.

 

You might put a mark in the skid but it should support the weight if the jack is centered between the front tube mounts.

 

Thanks @JeffRoyJenkins , @RangerComa and @JLee for fast response and good advice about using the the 2X4 under the skid bolts. That skid is built like a tank so no surprise the steel one can take the weight, but wasn't sure about the aluminum version.

 

I just picked up a used set of the BAMF trilogy for my 3rd gen, and the seller was missing the bolts for the front IFS Skid. I installed it using the factory bolts for now but wanted to check if BAMF includes these bolts to replace the factory ones.

 

I'm not certain about the front skid, but you should have the rest of the hardware to bolt everything together including the trans skid which has two bolts for the frame, you'll have to drill two 1/2" holes. Also, you'll need an exhaust reroute around the tcase, which is pretty affordable.

Maybe someone can chime in about the front skid bolts, I can't remember what it came with when I installed mine.

 

There are two 4.5" bolts along with a .250" two hole washer in the bolt packs the other four bolts are factory.

 

Awesome so I am not missing anything, I used the four factory bolts, just wasn't sure if there were BAMF replacements for those. Thakns @JLee

 

Has anyone noticed any added frame rigidity after adding full skids and the additional crossmember?

 

Ive wheeled with my Trilogy installed numerous times and i cant say that I can tell the difference in the frame. One thing i can tell is they theyre heavy AF hahaha, they give me supreme confidence tho, they are BEEFY.

 

SO GLAD I SAW THIS!!!!

thanks for clarifying Jerry! Got my front skid installed today.
Can’t wait for my duel swing out rear bumper to ship!

 

Finally had the exhaust re-route done, and added the last piece of the skid trilogy:


I picked these up used, and the previous owner had notched the transfer case skid to accommodate a poorly done exhaust re-route. I think there is still enough BEEF left that it shouldn't be a problem.


Ready to go full turtle!
