    I'll try to get a pic today. Most of the time just looking at the truck head-on while on a level surface you probabl wont see the skid plate. Therefore its probably not a mod I would do "Just for looks" However, it is a very inexpensive way to protect yourself from very costly accidents (same as condoms). You never know, you may get into offroading in the future.

    Just wanted to give a stock update. I have 3 uncoated TRD plates left and ready for shipment. I'm out of the plain and the rhino lined skids until the next batch.

    Not yet fuzzy, I just wrapped up a headache rack design for the tacos. Hopefully I'll be able to get one done soon.

    2 unpainted TRD skids left btw.

    Since I've gotten low on plates, I'd like to put in for a new batch. I will be offering the same options as before. I need to get an update on pricing since plate prices have gone up. It shouldnt affect the price too much, but I want to get a quote before commiting to price.

    Also, I can offer other basic cuts in the front of the skid plate, much like the punisher skull instead of the TRD cut out. Hit me up if you there is a design you guys might want and I'll take a look at it.

    I'm planning on knocking out the design this week once I can get a 2nd gen taco in here with a plate on it. The skids are already drawn up and are relatively easy to modify for new cuts.
