skid plate install

Is the stock skid plate of the 1st gens stronger? I took mine off to touch up the paint and it felt pretty solid compared to what you guys are describing for the 2nd gen skid plates.

 

Ticketdoctor thanks for the pics and write up. I am installing mine tonight and you made it very very easy now I know exactly what to do.

Thanks again

 

2011 Tacoma DC TRD off road,
Skid plate installed on top of black factory plate.

 

I've had one on my '08 and now my '11, though you really couldn't tell on the '11 with it coated. Both installed right over the stock skid plate. Just remove the two front bolts and loosen the rear two, and use the provided bolts/spacer attached to the front of the skid plate and re-use the two rear bolts.

 

Thread revival and sorry but better than making a new thread.

Would anyone care to tell the size and length of the bolts that come with the TRD plate. I bought a used one and the guy told me I used my bolts but after reading I realize that is not the case and I am missing the new bolts and spacers.
