    Hello I picked up a set and will be installing soon. I have a couple questions. Is this all the right hardware? What is the right length bolt for the cross member and where does this go-see pic?

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    That is everything and that washer is for the IFS skid in the rear for the top of the crossmember.

    Thanks giving sale has me pretty interested in the trilogy! :spy:
    How much do you think shipping would cost to LA if I bought the trilogy?

    Also, for the third gen Tacoma oil changes, we just drop the front skid correct?

    About 150 to a business address to SoCal and yes you need to drop the front skid to change the filter.

    Your missing the Washer for the crossmember and the two small bolts are not for our skids.

    Awesome thanks for the quick response ! Might've mixed the two small bolts in from the sliders that are going on as well.

    Did you guys have to drill through the crossmember to get the longer bolt through?

    No you do not have to drill the cross-member.

    Has anyone changed their front diff fluid that has the ifs skid? Did you have to drop the skid?

    Nothing too exciting... maybe a little rust
    Yeah, you have to pull the skid to get to the front diff. I try to pull the skid off at least once a year to clean all the crap off that builds up on top of it and grease all my u-joints. This is a good time too for touch up painting the skid, although I'm pretty sure the rest of the truck will be a rust bucket before this thing starts to go.

    Is the IFS skid compatible with other brand skids such as RCI?

    No they are not. No manufacturer makes their skids to work with other aftermarket brands.

    For the 3rd Gen front skid, it looks like there's an oil drain access hole. Perhaps not one for the filter. I'm guessing I'll have to drop the skid to change the oil? If so, no big deal, just wondering.

    That is correct there is a drain hole for the plug. The skid will need to be dropped to change the filter on the 3rd gen.
