Toyota discontinued the 4th Gen Skid Plates
However, if you are still looking for one a few dealers and vendors have some in stock.
this ebay seller still has them too
4RUNNER FRONT SKID PLATE 2006-2008: eBay Motors (item 200152116927 end time Aug-27-10 15:12:07 PDT)
also, if you didn't already know, the part # is PT212-89070 and toyota says they fit '06-'09 models but many members here have had no problems installing them on '03-'05 models

Ugh... I received an e-mail this morning from Paypal saying that I received a refund for the skid plate. The seller said it was out of stock. I'm always too late.

Plenty of dealers still have them in stock, call around or search online for the best price.
My dealer wanted 175.00 but it seems they are always high compared to others.
I purchased a used one and I had it installed and adjusted in less than 10 minutes.

Just for clarity, the actual skid plates that are under all 4th gen 4Runners are still available. What the OP is talking about is the cosmetic "skid plate" that comes up under the front bumper. It's strictly for show and doesn't protect anything.

That platic one over the bumper is called a BULL BAR isn't it - hardly a skid plate. Seems they were over $300.

Isn't this the same one? $114 plus free shipping. The part # is 1 number off though, but it looks like the one.

4th Gen Skid Plate from Toyota
I've called every dealer imaginable and no luck. The part number PT212-89070 is the current number, now "discontinued" by Toyota. Toyota says the two dealers on the east coast have them, but they don't. Their systems are not up to date.
Also, the online Toyota parts dealers go to Toyota to buy them, so they don't have them either. I've tried three of them.
Hopefully, this eBay link works.
Lastly, I have a laser and press brake in my shop. If someone has a damaged or finds one that they want to send me, I'll cut and brake the thing. They're made from .125 aluminum plate. I just have to figure out the fasteners and location.
Please let me know!

eBay Purchase
I just placed the order and paid with Paypal. The store claimed to have 10.
Funny thing, the price changed from $118 to $135 when I clicked over to the store and then back. Plus, they're zinging me $25 for shipping.
I think I've lost my mind.

eBay purchase followup
The link above is from a dealer in Arlington, Texas. It falsely claims to have 10 or so in stock.
I just received notice from Paypal on my reimbursement because the part is no longer available.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Same seller (and 2 others). I don't know why they don't remove (or why they keep posting) the listing.
