Skid plate recommendations
Hey all, anyone recommend particular skid plate? Also not sure if is should go silver or black based on my car color if you look in my album thoughts?

Skid plate recommendations
I put on the RCI Offroad skidplate. They've got several versions and sections to choose from.

RCI, affordable and easy to install. RCI powder coated my front skid red which looked good at first but now crap since I got it all banged up. Just spray them with black paint if you actually intend on using them. Color them up if they're on just for show.

So I am assuming the RCI skid plate covers more of the under body than the TRD pro skid plate correct?

I just got the pc'd skid plate. Covers a lot. Easy install.

the RCI front skid replaces both of the stock front skids.
RCI also fabs a "TRD integration plate" that, when installed with the TRD skid, replaces both of the stock front skids.

Does it look like the TRD skid plate comes up the front of the rig more than the rci?

Do you have another shot from the front maybe like 50 feet back?

Yes. I suggest getting the RCI filler plate.

So the TRD has no need for the filler plate? It seems cheaper to get the TRD plate

Maybe 20' and low angle. Can't really see it from 50' unless you squat.
