Anyone bought one of these?

Just saw this on eBay. Sounds like the same specs as an OEM TRD skid plate but the seller says it aftermarket. Wondering if anyone has bought one and tried it out yet?

For that price, I’d buy the OEM TRD.

 

Exactly. It's $355 at BAM Wholesale parts.

 

Weren't people buying "OEM" skids from alibaba for stupid cheap?

 

Yes, but shipping was the killer to the deal so most people didnt buy them.

 

This is what you need, 1/4" plate steel.

No access panel for maintenance though.

 

But then its another $45 for shipping, ha.

 

Check camelback Toyota or Mcgeorge toyota for the oem.

 

Honestly go oem or reputable aftermarket. Even if everything is perfectly within spec and tolerances are tight, the materials used would concern me. Not all aluminum is created equal and there is nothing to stop them from using shitty smelted soda cans. RCI would be a good choice as they use 5052
