BudBuilt front skid

[STX4Runner]

Does anyone have a head on view of the BudBuilt front skid on a TE with KDSS? I want to see what it looks like compared to stock. Tried searching, found nothing. Also, how much does the stock front skid weigh? I know BudBuilts are heavy (106 lbs for the full set not including gas tank) and I want to know how much heavier it is than stock front skid. Thanks.

Not sure of the exact weight, but the stock skid is rather dainty in comparison to a BudBuilt.

Thanks. That is exactly what I wanted to see. It looks like the BudBuilt provides a cleaner apperance than the factory skid, which has all these weird folds, nooks, screens and low hanging areas. I am thinking about getting a BudBuilt front and leaving it on permenately and later adding the others only before an offroad trip. I don't offroad that often, so I don't want to kill my mpgs by having a lot of extra weight.
