Strangely it’s really only the skidplate. Got a good look changing the t-case and axles. Other than that piece, everything looks pretty much as it should for 90k miles and trails it’s been down. Given the design, I wonder if failing to get ice/salt/snow out in a timely manner contributed. The difference in weird angles and crevices between the stocker and even the TRD is crazy.
I’ll post some pics after work so it’s easier to see the condition and area of damage.
