    As I told 01Tacoma, I will be setting up a small shop within the next month so I will be able to easily come up with a full skid set. For now, I just have the 1 piece that replaces the 2 OEM skids.

    We dont have many rocks around the plant so I used a forklift to simulate a rock. The skid was plenty tough to suppor the weight of the truck

    Just bent metal?? Psssh... more like armored sexiness with the customizable options. Not to mention the peace of mind that you wont crush your stock skids on a rock :)

    I rendered a TRD cutout. I do not charge extra for this cut. This will look like the TRD skids in the first post when mounted but will have the added protection of the full 1 piece skid.

    I'm interested in the TRD cuts, especially if you offer them at no extra cost. I just don't have the money right now to pay for skids though.
