I got skid plate

Mine came off the line a TRD off-road pkg. Then across the street to TRD and they had their way with it. Graphics, wheels and tires, suspension upgrade. I have every option but leather.

That won't protect the truck for any off roading.

Good steel toes on and I might be able to kick a dent in it!

Put a 3 inch leveling kit on the front of my tacoma! After much struggle on mainly one part we finally got it in! I'll update with photos and story in some time!

This bash plate and LCA skids from Ricochet are light made from Aluminum ! I'm putting the three parts on my new Taco in blue!

So we started off expecting this install to take under 2 hours... That was not the case do to mainly one stubborn bolt.
We then took off the tire and started to get dirty?


Here's what the lift kit looked like. It's actually a 3 inch leveling kit. I also put upgraded TRD blistein shocks on.

We put it up on jack stands in the middle to be able to work on both sides at one time.
We then had to go to our local auto store to rent coil compressors. It is really cool Autozone rents them for free! Yes free! You leave a 50 dollar deposit and then you get your money back when you return the item!

We then but everything on but one stubborn bolt on both sides for the lower A arm

We eventually figured it out by lowering the car on wood blocks and they finally getting the angle we needed!

We put in new Halo head. Lights today.
BEFORE

After!!
The install was fairly easy. Me and my buddy finished from start to end in just over and hour. Definitley gives the truck a meaner/ more aggressive look I love it!!

Nice refresh on the front end. Those clear lenses help make the truck look newer!
Toyota sells their own brand of skid plate...it's 1/4" thick aluminum and is kind of a light gray color. I've got one on my truck. Although it's a lightweight and probably won't stop a huge off-road blunder; I like the cost, ease of installation and finally, the way it looks.

Your truck is coming along very well!
