Gas tank skid plates availability?
Does anyone have a gas tank skid plate on hand they can part with, or know of anyplace with them in stock?
Mine is rusted to almost nothing and I'd like to get it replaced ASAP. Just happen to be getting other frame work done and it would be nice to knock it all out at once.

This might be a solution: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/...closed.473229/
Try contacting RAT Products and see if he has an extra gas tank skid plate set from the recent GB or see if he can otherwise help you out. Great products.

Doesn't matter really, but aftermarket is always cooler 
Lil Skip seems to have one ready to ship so I'm probably going with him.
Thanks for the guidance brothers!

What ever you do DONT get the shrockworks one. Long story short, your drive shaft will most likely hit it when flexing.

Wow, good to know. I was in contact with them. I'm a bit surprised, I always held their products in high regard. Still, will probably get some bumpers from them in the indeterminate future.

Their customer service is garbage. I'll never order from them again.

Wow, they were good to me when I ordered my FB. I called them with questions about the different PIAA lights & they were very helpful.
You had a good experience with the sliders though right?
But yea, I'll get a lil skips eventually.

Yeah. My OEM gas stank skid plate is dented from my drive shaft hitting it. And even the weight on the driveshaft gets caught.

It doesn't matter which skid plate you have, it's gonna hit with a tall enough lift. I cut a section of my OEM skid off with the angle grinder. No more hitting.

Well, I have a bare steel plate inbound from Lil Skips, and I can't wait to get it mounted. Should be coming in Thursday.
Anyone coated one of these or a similar piece of steel meant for rough use? I'm debating what kind of coating to put on it before I bolt it on. Pics to follow

My opinion on skids, and this is my opinion and you know what they say about opinions, is to rattle can them. If you use them, then all the $$$ you spent to get it powder coated is just going to get dinged up.
