ARB Skid Plates

Took this image from the "Expo" forum. ARB marketing says its top secret, another words they haven't come out yet. I wonder if they will. If they do they must be considering a SNORKEL somewhere down the line! :shrug:

No prob. They got some awesome ideas on there. I just cant afford 2/3 of what they put on that truck. It looks nice though. Its their company truck for the hq out in WA

Oh really... thats good to hear. That might make them look into making further products for the 5th Gen 4runner. Fingers crossed there, all I want for Christmas is a snorkel!

Finally found a free weekend to install the ARB Skids.

Really happy with the final product, very well done. Paid $425 for the kit.

Toyota stock skid thickness = 1.3 mm

ARB skid thickness = 3.7 mm (4.1 mm for xfer case skid)

4 skids and 1 bracket


both stock skid plates


label on shipping box

Those look nice, but your gas tank will still be exposed.

Replaced the SR5 tank skid w/ TE skid.... Better, but not ideal.

How heavy is heavy?

 

[jangoforhire]

So these are available now?

 

[CmdrCody]

"How heavy is heavy? "
>>> Didn't weigh them, but my guess from carrying the box is ~70-80 lbs

"So these are available now? "
>>> Yes, I just talked to my local ARB dealer, and he used the part number to order from ARB USA. Although I only have the part number for non-KDSS skids.

Any pics of these installed? Perhaps from the front?

Trying to order these all day now and when I try to checkout it tells me "Your email address already exists. Use the 'Forgot your Password?' feature to retrieve your password to logon.", but when I hit password reset it sends me the same damn password I am using. Maybe it just isn't meant to be :toilet:

I got my set on yesterday, kept my budbuilt gas tank skid on too . I'll get some pics of it tomorrow.

How long did they take to arrive?

 

[STX4Runner]

Please do take pictures; from several angles too. I am interested in getting these skid plates.

 

[brockeverly]

Forgot to ask, they should work even with my front hitch, right?

Finally got my order through so I can go to bed. TRDPARTS4U's site is kind of a pain in the ass on this order. First issue I have had with it.
