The TRD skid plate will fit the 2010, yes?

Mine should finally arrive tomorrow due to storms and such. Right now I dont have a front skid
If you still have your air dam you'll need to remove that.
Then remove front plastic filler piece below bumper. It's held by a few bolts and a couple large plastic plugs.
There are 4 bolts holding the skid plate, 2 in front and 2 in back. the bolts are in recessed holes.
After the bolts are removed the stock skid is held in place by 2 hooks/hangers in the front. Just pull it out from there.
The TRD skid should bolt up nicely using the same 4 bolt locations as the stock skid.
Make sure you tap the holes using the Saker-Cymon method and apply a good amount of anti seize
EDIT: I didn't tap the holes yet as I was waiting on the skid. I just tried to test fit the 10mm tap and I can confirm you will either need to drill out and tap to 10mm or use the 8mm x 1.25 tap and buy new bolts like
