    I get about same fuel mileage, but i may end up removing it eventually because it makes removing that engine skid plate cover easier.

    Yes, OP has a true “Bearded Taco”, SR Utility package with the black plastic bumper, the front spoiler/air dam alone doesn’t make it “bearded” to us “purists” :rolleyes:

    I took mine off after a year. The black unpainted bumper has tons of scratches for some reason.

    I just took it off my SR5 a few weeks ago and added the pro skid plate. have not noticed any real mpg difference even with the little bit of added weight from the skid plate. plus it looks much better imo58996EB2-C2C7-4075-91DF-67FBC6D65A13.jpg

    any clue where i can get a stock skid plate?
    mine was missing (bolts missing too) when i bought the truck.

    the TRD Pro ones look nice, but they're pricey and I'd have to paint that black.

    @Nutriaitch the toyota part # for the stock skid/splash guard is 51405-04010. seems like most online shops are selling for around the same price as dealerships so best bet is probably a local dealer to avoid shipping. craigslist/facebook marketplace always worth a shot as well if you can find someone who took it off to add a pro/aftermarket skid

    Obviously you don’t go wheeling or that crap would be ripped off pretty quick. Not sure how you get that kind in gas mileage, I average about 16 mph...
