Hello everyone,
I was looking into installing a skid plate on my 24 TRD Sport. I wanted the TRD OEM one but apparently it only fits the OR model, is this correct? Does anyone know of any good ones that will fit the Sport model?

You have to buy a cross member if you want to utilize the majority of the OE/aftermarket skid plates.

Not sure if anybody else makes one, but this is the one I've seen most around here.

Okay so as long as I attach the crossmember first, any skid plate should be able to mount to that?
Yep that's right. You can actually use the OE skidplates as yours is right now, you just won't have to two front mounting points however.

I own a Sport Premium and just ordered a skid plate from Victory 4x4. No cross member needed with theirs as it uses the front recovery hooks support and bolts to be secured at the front. There's a thread here with pictures of installs.

I ordered and installed this one because I removed the air dam and wanted to replace the composite one installed from factory. No cross beam required. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3957595161...TpHMOI6Rga&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That one is perfect! I also removed my air dam on day 1 lol. I was initially going to get the white OEM one and paint it black anyway. How is the quality of it?

I have a sport. I installed the RCI crossmember and the OEM TRD skid plate. Worked out great. Easy install.

Great so far. The shipping was a few days late and I contacted seller and he threw in a custom red TRD emblem for being late. The emblem and gesture I thought pretty cool. Recommend!
