My Skidplate
At my old job I engineered a lot of parts for materials handling. I made a fab drawing for a skidplate after measuring the truck and had it made and shipped to one of my jobsites... shop even painted it for me according to my specs. Mine is of 10 gauge metal and came out super beefy. It only goes from the crossmember behind the bumper down to the front crossmember of the IFS. I have a 4'x8' sheet of 1/8" steel in my garage waiting to be made into the belly skid
I'm still behind on hosting pics... but you can read about my skidplate on my website.
Also on the site is a fab drawing in JPEG form. I'm not sure how well it'd work for 4runner or Taco guys, but if you measured the points on your frame perhaps you could modify this fab drawing to work for you. I can provide the AutoCAD file for anyone who wants it.
