I am thinking of swapping out my 'tiny' skid plate protecting my fuel tank on my SR5 with the one on the TE that covers it 100%. I was curious if this can be done? I would assume the fuel systems are identical, but wonder if they might have relocated bolt patterns on the TE because of KDSS?
Part is 77606-60190 - Parts manual on the forum says $287.54 but my dealership quoted me $301.89.
I know I have the 2nd option to go with the BudBuilt system, which is overkill for what I would need I think.

Budbuilt Skidplates
The BudBulit Tank plate runs $379, then whatever it is for shipping. If I was local I think I would spend the extra $80 and do the BudBuilt, but I have a feeling shipping will run me another big chunk of change too, which makes me lean back to the Toyota TE one.
For those who have the TE, what do you think of the plate?
I am not going to be doing heavy trails or anything, not 'planning' on dragging it across rocks. I might do a couple trails here and there, lot of soft sand beach driving. My previous SUV had full coverage and when bouncing up and down on the deep tracks on the beach you could feel the whole thing bottom out, I hate the thought of the fuel tank taking that abuse directly.
Thanks!
