    TRD Pro skid plate is 1/4 in aluminum. More durable than the stock "splash guard" that is light enough to be a held with one hand ... the Hulk maybe can hold the TRD Pro with one hand. Some still want steel engine plate because they think (or have experienced) aluminum being crushed by some rocks on the trail.

    Thank you for that info! I couldn't find any specs comparing the Pro and Standard skid plate. Exactly what I was looking for.

    I got this one on Amazon, it has taken some hits and seems ready for some more.
