i have a 97 4runner thats stock and i try to go wheeling alot, when ever i go i almost all the time hit something on the bottom of the thing, and im afraid im gonna rip off something underneath. so i need a from the front to like behind the the transfer case skid plate. and i would also like to get as much clearence under there as i can. so any ideas of manufactures of any high clearence skidplates??

I just installed a BudBuilt skid and belly pan on my 2001 4Runner. Very well made, covers from the front to behind the transfer case and $600 is a lot cheaper than fixing a transmission or transfer case.

warpigg

did you clock your transfer case like they show?

eric-the-red

No, with stock crossmembers the skid cleared the transfer case. Clocking is only an advantage if you have a low profile crossmember, then you can get the transfer case up higher.

not the full belly pan, but looks like a great product.

wow thats a really beefy skid plate, that would be great cus thats what im mostley worried about ripping off.

2DoorRunner

Good price compared to the other 3rd gen 4runner products too.

warpigg

ya its not to bad, ive kind of gotten used to the fact that every offroad product for 3rd gens are very expensive. this one is about average.

Plumbrbob

nice touch now I feel stupid

warpigg

eric do you have any pics of your belly pan installed?
