TRD Skid Plate Install

Yes, it’s a basic generic knockoff copy of the trd skid. I never liked the big trd letters. Other than this bolt thing, it fit well, no complaints so far. Came with a copy of the same directions as the real oem trd skid

 

Ok. I’m just trying to understand the point of your post. Maybe you should say who the manufacturer and/or reseller is to inform other people that might be thinking about buying the same thing.

 

Oh i had some trouble installing, i thought I might have done it wrong, found this other post

helpful, to confirm, even though it didn't look like switching anything from the way I had it made sense.

Anyways, not really a point, just what eventually worked, was just a case of something that's supposed to be easy taking almost 10 times as long as it was supposed to, meant to reply to that other thread, not sure if anyone else had problems with the bolts seeming to bottom out.

 

Rawk on, d00d!

 

The exact knockoff i ordered was:

For Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023 Off-Road Front Skid Plate

$459 PTR60-35190

PTR60-35190 PTR6035190 from Modify-parts store on ebay since July 09, 2018.
It is from PRC China, which i try to avoid when convenient or i think it matters, but these is just a shaped and coated piece of metal, no hidden parts. Other than the bolts needing a trim, it was a fully complete hardware kit.

i didn’t mention the brand before cause i think these Chinese products are all from the same place with different no-name names slapped on them sometimes.

it looks like it got slightly cheaper, if you add to a watchlist, or abandon cart, they will likely send you an additional discount offer for 5% off.

finally, if i end up trimming this thing, to fit a front hitch receiver, no big deal vs a more expensive skid.
