Skid Plate + Undercarriage Damage?

First time?

yeah I’ve bashed the shit out of the cradle. Not a problem. Don’t show Toyota/insurance else they’ll try to void your warranty or total the truck.

you’re fine. Hit it with a rattle can or roll on and good to go. I’m getting steel plates, the weight isn’t that much. Not like a bumper setup.

 

BAMF skids are beastly, was able to make it through the Rubicon with em.

 

For fun this is what the rci stuff looks like after about a year of owning it and 15k miles. Some little stuff on the a arms and sub frame too but this was the brunt of it.

 

oh they can. my dealer put mine on backwards. i had to instruct them how it actually goes on.

 

time for a new dealer

I am trying ro figuring out if I should buy some skid plates, what do you recommend me

 

if you’re going to Offroad then get steel skid plates. I recommend BAMF as they’re 1/4” thick. Yes it will be heavy but you’ll have that peace of mind.

 

Also post your question on the regional forum depending on where you live- you may find that you live within driving distance of a reputable independent builder and will save a lot on the cost and for shipping and they might even do installations.

 

We are here on the forums. This is our full skid package for the Tacoma. We offer some key reinforcements on the front skid and transmission skid that add a ton of strength.

My RCI steel engine and transmission skid add 80 lbs (aluminum would be 40 I think). The transmission skid can attach catalytic converter guards (only aluminum available) for 25 more lbs.

 

I've beat the ever loving hell out of a full set of RCI skids and they have done their job excellently. And they're usually having a sale

 

Sick logo. Reminds me of Command & Conquer.

 

Splash pans……..they aren’t skid plates.
