Hi guys, does any one know where I can buy a good skid plate to replace the stock sheet metal POS that I have now? I cant find one anywhere for trucks that dont have body lifts! Thanks again

Have you heard on Confer? The make some pretty cool plates. I don't have an addy for you to go to, sorry. I have an old catalog from about 7 years ago.
I looked online for confer but could not find. www.northwestoffroad.com

Hope this helps.

A body lift has absolutely no affect on whether a skidplate will work on your rig or not. However, a suspension lift would require a different skidplate than the stock suspension would.


Con-Ferr discontinued theirs a while ago. They really scaled back the products they make now.

Your best bet is BudBuilt. I have one of Bud's dual transfer case crossmembers and it is tough. The IFS skids are relatively new, and I haven't heard any reviews of them, but I'm sure they're the best option out there.

URD has some kick ass skids for the Tacos and 3rd gen 4Runners, but,,,,

For your year you should check out the ones from Bud Built. The transfer skid is really something and gives you about 2" more ground clearence.
