    5g 4runner trail edition wheels (I didn't want that black paint trim on mine). Wrote up a post on that and fitment over on Oppositelock (user: Grindintosecond) Off craigslist, came with the OEM marshmallow tires but with only 10k miles on them, I got a deal for my majority pavement life.

    Here are the bronze on a white truck in the 0 offset. It is a fairly light bronze but I love them.

    Ok mole panel group buy. Saw they had a solid panel. Got it. Ripped back seat out put sound mats in. Primed and painted it to color match the truck. Used 4 bolts part number 9x2044. Purchased at at cat dealership. Got the mole panel through.

    It hangs off your oil pan, waiting to be compromised, so all your oil can drain out and leave you stranded on the trail.

    lol, so it's basically a valve you screw into the drain bolt hole, to make draining oil easier? I can see how that could be a problem on a trail, but wouldn't a skid plate prevent damage to that in most cases?

    Ummm....stuff and more stuff

    It is no more compromised then the drain screw. You put it on tight the first time you wont have an issue. Just like you would with the drain screw. Now where it is very handy is if you have an after market IFS plate. You dont have to remove the skid plate or spill oil on top of the plate and make a mess.

    I can see if you are running the factory "Skid" plate it will hang down near the bottom and if something hits it or if the thin plate gets bent it could damage the valve and cause issues on the trail.
