2014+ skids on 2010-2013?

[Beatty2002SE]

Quick question. I searched the threads but could not find the answer so I apologize if I missed it. I am wondering I'd the TRRD PRO skid plates (particularly the front skid) will fit on the 2010-2013 models since they have different front clips.
Thanks!

I don't see why not.
The TRD skid does not use any front clips, it is bolted on.

Hope this helps!

These are not made for KDSS, so the sides will have to have a cutout for stabilizer bars clearance, IIRC!

I think he was referencing the new nose. Us old farts call all of the body panels forward of the firewall the front clip. :becky:

Thanks for the reply. By "front clip" I was referring to the front end change that happened between 2013 and 2014. It seems like they would not change the bolt pattern of the skid plates but wasn't sure.

Sadly yes, I am old too :-(

As Saker mentioned above, they will not work with KDSS (in your signature).

I think someone on this forum bought one and did a cutout on the sides for KDSS to fit.
The prototype TRD Pro 4Runner with KDSS had a skid on it with cutouts as shown....

If you really want one check around your local area for a metal shop that has a plasma gun. See if they can cut 1/4" aluminum for you and show them some pictures of what you need done. Probably not too expensive.

Also, depending on how handy you are with hand tools, you could measure everything, use a hole saw and jig saw and do the deed!

Thanks for the great input guys! I can live without the skid. Thought if it were a quick direct bolt-up I might do it.

Bump.

Has anyone been successful installing this on 2010-2013 4runner with no issues? If so, was it a directed bolt on? Any modifications needed?


Thanks

I searched forum but have not seen a direct confirmation.

It is not a direct bolt on, in the sense that you can just bolt it up. There would need to be some minor modification.

The front bolts, size and placement, are different where they attach to the radiator supports. You can fix this by installing your own weld nut at the location where there is none for the 10-13.

Thanks for the info! Very helpful
