Same. Had to trim it, but it looks good now.

Also did my first oil change with the skid. Love the trap door!

Finally got around to installing mine (KDSS) after sitting in my garage in the box for about a year. ;). The hardest part was offering up the plate long enough to get the front bolts started without a helper. Mine came with the spacers for the front but all four bolts were the same length, and the two for the rear are too long for the tapped bolt holes. I may either try to reuse the bolts for the frame support arms or it's off to the hardware store for some shorter replacements. I'll be checking regularly for any interference with the swaybar.

ok this skid was cheap enough for me to buy and try.

Mine came with 4 long bolts and 2 short bolts, and I'm glad it did.

If you are running a diff drop kit, you will need to use the 2 longer bolts and source some spacers for the rear mounting holes. This is no different than the OEM toyota TRD skid plates (requiring spacers for the rear) if you are running diff drop.

Not sure I understand why the little oil change door is such a bonus over the stock trd plate. I think it's 4 fasteners (bolts) either way and a few more pounds for the whole skid, just not a big deal to do every 6 months or so. Same for the stud mod, I guess if you're taking it off every weekend it might be little faster, it seems pretty painless to me, jmho.

My OEM trd skidplate is feeling kind of sad now.

Might clean it up and turn it into a piece of art wall hanger..
