Chaz, I just ran across this post. Did you make these diamond plate skids? I like them a lot. Would you be interested in selling one to me? If not, do you have dimensions you could share? I know a guy who knows a guy that has a press brake.

i cant make any but its a 6061 aluminum diamond plate 3/16 x 28 x 19. access to a bender would make it super easy. then get 2 rubber grommets ,drill 4 holes & bolt it on. if u dont have an iron works or railing shop near u , there r places online that will sell a piece cut any size u want. 2years ago that piece cost 35 bux , cant say what it is now.

Thanks Chaz.
I assumed it was steel diamond plate, hadn't considered aluminum. I was thinking about 1/8" or 3/16" steel plate. Not sure what the cost difference would be.
What are the grommets for?
Did you have a press brake available? If not, how did you bend your plate?
Thanks again,
Bill

used 3/8 6061 aluminum cause its easier to work with yet still fairly strong , the weak points are where its attached to the bumper its more or less just to stop small stuff from flying up there & a bit of looks. clamped it to a bench & bent it with heat & sledge hammer. grommets keep it off the bumper.

eBay is not my friend unfortunately in this case. Tons for sequoia and Tacoma and 5th gen 4R but nothing for 4th Gen. I also spent last weekend at the salvage yards and all the skids are missing. They take them all off to gut the engines

I think skid plate is the same. Just need to modify the bracket to make it fit. Most brake have different bolt holes. The ones on 4runner uses 4 on the side and 4 to secure the plate.

Bull bar on 4th gen's lets see 'em please!!

Look at my post in the thread above. I bought the Tundra one and made my own brackets like Momo. Easy and cheap to do.

Hope that helps.
