    I'm referring to the small aluminum skid plate that is seen on the front of some '01-'04 Tacos. I've looked around for awhile now and the ones I've found I think are over-priced. I'm pretty sure I can get one made in stainless for less than the $100+ they sell for.

    My question is this; would anyone out there who has one of these be kind enough to give me some dimensions and explain how it bolts on? I'm not too worried about the slot-shaped cutouts in the front, I can guess at that, but I would be interested in the length, width, bend location, and again, how it bolts on.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I only want one for looks, I realize they serve no functional purpose. I just think they look sharp - especially on black trucks.

    Bump.

    Now that we've established my reasoning for wanting one is anybody willing to throw me a bone on my request?
