I'm in need of the rear/bottom portion of my skid plate ('95 Tacoma 4WD). I am not interested in an aftermarket or custom skid plate, only the factory/standard skid plate. Any ideas as to where to look, or maybe I'm fortunate in finding someone here who has one laying around? I'm in Denver, CO, btw......

Thanks in advance.

I saw one half stuck in mud the last time I went off roading... It was a little bent though.

if it is like the 3rd gen 4r, the front skid is two pieces. one in front and one right behind. Is that what you need?

Yes, it is 2 pieces, with the rear/bottom portion being as much of a splash guard for the engine compartment as a skid plate. I found this out the hard way after coating my engine and bottom side of my hood with mud after having ripped the rear part of the skid plate off. That was 2 years ago and I still need a replacement. I haven't had luck with any salvage yards, but I can't justify dropping $130 at a dealer to replace something that gets the crap beat out of it. So yes, it is the rear portion only that I need a replacement for.

Man, if you would have posted about 12 hours earlier I could have saved mine from the trash and GIVEN it to you. :pat:
