Please help I think I want to build my own skid plates

[zonianbrat]

Hi all, So I bought my 04 runner and it doesn't have the rear two skid plates. There is one at the very front but that is it. I've tried searching and can't find actual dimensions and since I don't have a starting point I figured I would ask for help. If I can't get any dimensions then I'll have to wing it and try to make a template and start from scratch. I'd rather skip that step if possible so I can make these before the snow flies here in CO. I'll be using some 3/16 inch steel. I have a buddy who is a welder and I also work at a power plant with any tool possibly needed for this project. Anyway any help and or tops are much much appreciated.

Edit: I have a SR5 with the V6. If anybody has their old skids laying around I'll buy them from you and use them for a template!

Just make your own templates. Stop by a bike shop and get a couple of bike boxes. Lay under the rig and take some measurements, cut the cardboard and see how it fits. Typically the stock skids really don't cover enough anyway.

Well guess that's what I'll have to do.
