Looking at Bud's website some more, I will very likely get either a crossmember or a bellypan with the skid and take max advantage of the discount!

Wonder if the belly pan increases gas mileage by having a smooth undercarriage...LOL

Bolts are included with your purchase.

On the 4Runners, it bolts to the back of the front skid plate (under/after it) and to the crossmember in back of the tcase. At least that's how it is with mine. On newer orders, the bellypan can be bolted in above or below the front skid plate - the bolts are different for each skid plate, you'll see. Here's a picture to give you an idea of how the two meet (note: it's not bolted in securely, just loosly fitted in the picture). On Tacomas that extra crossmember is used.

I've hardly beaten up on my skid plate HARD yet, but it has taken some good hits on a few runs and held up very nicely.

The clearances are pretty tight.

Yeah, that crossmember piece is only for the Tacomas.

Andy--thanks! I had seen some pictures of your bumper awhile back, but I don't think I've seen the finished product. I'll have to read up!

I'm in for both plates. I'll contact Andy and possibly Bud about extra bracing.

3. Localmotion(front skid with drain hole)
4. TC(if made for 2nd gen, front skid with drain hole)
5. Roadrunner(front skid with drain hole)

10. Lone4Runner (front skid with drain hole)
11. MellamoPound (front skid with drain hole)
12. Darren (front skid with drain hole)
13. Darren (belly pan)


Now that we have 10+, we officially have 20% off.

Front Skid
$249 - 49.80 = 199.20 + ~$30 shipping = ~$230 SHIPPED

Front Skid + Belly Pan
$450 - 90 = 360 + ~$40 shipping = ~$400 SHIPPED


(actual prices will depend on shipping fees.)

I'll contact Bud and let him know about this thread/group buy and that we have 10+ committed now.

After I get confirmation from him, then everyone will need to contact him and arrange payment and shipping.

THANKS! This went FAST!

If anyone else wants in on this, you'd better get on the list QUICK!
