    The TRD skid plate will fit on the sport and I believe all other trim.

    All you will have to do is remove the "air dam" thing along with the tin can skid plates that came on your truck and everything will bolt right up.

    Dealer is full of shit as ussual. Easy, takeoff the front air damn, ~10 screws, very easy. Remove old skid plate, few screws/bolts very easy. Use new screws that come with the skid plate and install. It would be a lot easier with two folks, but I did it by myself and was kind of a pain holding it up etc... I laid on my back and had the skid plate my chest. Also used my Dewalt impact driver. Again, a bit of pain by yourself, but easily doable. Good luck

    You can probably get it online for cheaper.

    It does interfere with the airdam. You might lose 0.2 mpg without the airdam. :rolleyes:

    Check prices with Cochrane Toyota (TacomaTownOnline) in Alberta and ask your local dealers if they can match it.
    Just put it on a hydraulic jack and roll it under the truck.
