6 screws, took about 15 minutes by myself.

Part Ordered out of state. No Taxes and Free Shipping.

Nice! I got more than 30% off at Fred Anderson in NC during Memorial Day sale. Saved a bunch on the bed step and cargo net. I was out of state as well.

Is the oil filter able to be taken out without the skid plate needing to come off?

DoorKnob4531 · Jun 25, 2024

No. The filter is covered

Looks like the trailhunter skid plate comes in a little cheaper than the TRD one. I know the TH has a steel plate, vs the aluminium on the TRD. The difference in price is relatively minor. Any particular reason you went with the TRD? It does look nicer though.

Looks nice. Can you post a picture showing where the skid plate stops relative to the rear crossmember? Trying to see what (if anything) is left exposed. I'm not planning on hardcore trails, but I would like more protection than the factory plastic skid plate.

I just like the look of this one better.

Did the skid plate include the 6 bolts or did you have to buy them separately?

You re-use the bolts from the original plastic skid plates.

For an SR5 without the cross member is the victory skid pretty much the only option right now? $300 for the NYTOP cross brace is just silly…

Back in olden times we'd have just grabbed a hunk of angle iron or flat bar and made a mount in a couple of hours.

People will pay it, because they want to make their truck look cool with a skid plate.

So does the TRD Off Road come with a plastic skid plate? Will I need this for my Off Road when it arrives on August?

Yep. Off Road comes with plastic skid plates. I have the off road premium.

Do you intend on driving over rocks? If yes, then yes, if no, then no. At least you bought an Off Road that the skid plate was made to fit.
