well, the skid plates on my 4Runner are thoroughly mangled, so it's time to price out some new ones.

So who's got em, where'd you get em, and how are they holding up? Pics would be great as well.

I did a search but lots of the threads are so old the pics are gone.

I've got the trail carnage ones, and they are awesome, but impossible to obtain at this time. I think budbuilt might be carrying some now.

BudBuilt all the way. His skid plates are indestructible.
Besides, i think hes the only one in the country making skids for 3rd gens.

 

werd.

i've got the mid skid plate on the way to me. the front one i've had for a while now, and that thing is beef. it's held up well and fits perfect.

 

My skid plates are from Jason Demello

 

From the pic on Demello's site, it doesn't look like his skid will fit with my TJM.

The bud built stuff looks good - I was looking at that earlier.

 

can you post a pic?

 

if you want one of the front skid off the truck i can do that. i'm getting some work done tho, so it won't be back on for a few days. and i should have the middle (belly) skid plate by then too

 

i fabbed my own. click my truck page for larger pix, and PM if you're interested in the (very cheap) details. i intended for it to last a couple seasons, and so far it's gone a full year w/o being beat up, so i'm happy so far.

 

calrockx, i'd like to see a pic of your skid too, on or off.

Heres the one i have (being sold) for a 2nd gen...

 

some shots of my budbuilt front skid plate:







yeah it's a little used and has some quick touchups to it. i'll paint it perty again before i put it back on.

 

I have a guy who will make them. They will be similar to the ones AZRain and SS3 made a while back. I will check prices tomorrow.

 

All Phase Off Road in Longmont has some great diff skid plate protection (To go over the normal diff protection) that way you don't get hung up but slide over when you would normally get hung up on your diff protection.

Their number is: 303 678 7413

I'll be getting mine put on next month!

 

I've got the first plate Trailcarnage made and it's holding up great. There are a couple of little things that were changed from mine to his last design to make it better (mine was the prototype). To my knowledge, he (Trailcarnage)sold his design to someone else, but I'm not sure who. That Budbuilt plate bears a close resemblance to the Trailcarnage plate though.
