    Thanks for the info and the parts kit link! I was trying to avoid a $60 solution, checking a few places online.

    How’d you get the black TRD? Did you do the it as a DIY project or is that factory. That looks way better that red!

    Happy Holidays to you and your family!

    TIA

    i just read 2 pages of this, consensus seems to be you remove the front and rear 17mm bolts of the stock brace and then replace with the new hardware in same location, with spacers that come with the new skidplate (or without...still translating that bit)

    its the inner forward bolt on the brace which has two bolts, thanks to the person who mentioned that

    my 2015 trd offroad came with the front diff cover as well, its an add on second plate butts up against the front skid (but i think this trd plate replaces all of it)

    going to try getting one of these eventually. im going to use anti seize because dropping my stock skid recently + mid skid for front diff was actually kind of a pia, was worse than my front diff drain plug
    theres also rci aluminum for the same price too...

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Thank you. It’s actually blue colored letters and I bought it like that.

    Happy Holidays to you and yours.
