    The picture might be inaccurate. I think one is for the 4Runner. They will ship the longer one with the red lettering. That’s what I got.

    Point well taken - for most people there is no reason to upgrade the stock OR skid.

    ...and if you’re going to upgrade, the aftermarket offers more substantial skids for less money than the Pro.

    My experience is this: the pro skid took a couple of middle of the road hits that busted it up good. The bamf skid is scarred and scraped, but has taken the same abuse more times and is still very serviceable.

    In the course of one of our hunting routes, there is a point where the trail dips into an arroyo and then later comes out. Depending on the weather and the trail conditions, the climb out is no big deal, but it involves some mild scraping and rubbing as you crest the lip of the creek and level out.

    The stock skid made one trip and ended up both torn and dented. The pro skid became unusable after two trips. The bamf? Probably 10 exits later and it’s still intact. It looks like ass, but it’s still sound.

    Keep an eye on Ebay, they randomly do 20% off coupons - that's how I got my TRD PRO skid.

    When on the BAM Wholesale Parts website, and after entering my vehicle information (2017 OR), it displayed this option for 2018-2019. I’m assuming it will fit a 2017?596AFA1F-8C35-4098-B653-76A9CD89045E.jpg
