I looked at RCI, but I would have to purchase an addition piece to cover my radiator. That's why I'm interested in the TRD.
TIA,

Why cover the radiator from the front? It's protected by cross member and bumper. My 2010 skid has no front extra piece like you describe.

I think he means from the underside. if you take out the plastic shield that goes from the front bumper to where the non TRD skid plate hinges there is exposure to the radiator from the bottom. not much, but not zero

I know the piece you mean, but the limited has a plastic section that bolts from the metal rad bar to the front plastic spoiler rear. The front section is plastic to plastic. Its only the rear connection that is plastic to metal. I have the plastic sandwhich piece that fits in there sitting in my garage. Now theres a gap as it doesnt fit right with the RCI skid plate. There is no metal under the the front of the limited plastic bumper at the bottom. The metal begins after the gap which is about 6 inches or so. Ill get you a pic if you want to see it.

Yeah let's see a picture.. I ripped all that plastic trash out after building my own bumper. I have complete protection from underneath with the OEM SR5 skid.

I also rammed the sh1t out of a stump which destroyed that front cross member we're talking about. So I'm pretty familiar with that area after fabricating and welding in a new cross member at OEM spec dimensions and clearances.
