Folks - Good news here. Took my mangled (from an accident) skid plate and brackets to a good local metal works shop who proceeded to roll and put everything back in order. Praise the Man upstairs. I think I am good now. :party:

Thank you. Sounds about what I thought it should be. It is becoming more a test of sanity to go to a garage for work to be done …. Also had a national tire shop try to tell me that I had to replace major rear suspension parts after the only had mounted a new tire. Guess the mechanic must have...

Another throw-out here …. Picking up on the homemade brake to steering wheel security bar, we used a titanium steering wheel bar on our T4R while living overseas. Never had it tested - someone attempting to steal - perhaps it served more of a deterrent. But we did get our truck back to the...

Have not been spammed (yet), but have been bot’ed. The Forum did an excellent job though in banning this poster as I was not the only poster. Thank you Forum.

Replacing radiator hoses was mentioned in this thread. Anyone have a finger on how much replacing the upper and lower hoses should cost? Local garage quoted me $424 which seems really high.

Excellent advise on the timing belt. The mechanics I talk to, and trust, tell me this is one maintenance item that, if replaced between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, will keep the lifeblood in your T4R flowing for many years to come.

Thank you. Could you possibly post pictures of the skid plate?

Am happy to see that folks are finding the hard to locate parts, e.g. skid plate. 4Runners are like the Fosters Beer commercial….. “a keeper.”

Folks - Would also like to find the brackets and bolts in good condition. Thanx

Still available? Am looking for a good set. Thanx

Idealize I am late to the party. But is the skid plate and/or brackets with bolts still for sale? Would be for my 2002 Sport.

Folks - Clarification. That’s a 2002 T4R SR5. Fingers got out in front of brains.

Yes, thank you. Could you please post a photo of the skid plate?

Folks - Apologize for the typo. Am looking to buy a front skid plate for my 2002 T4R SR5.

Great discussion. I am looking for a front skid plate for my 2092 T4R SR5. Did you post yours for sale? Thaanx
