Hey everybody,
I have a 1996 taco, and i'm fairly new to wheelin.
What would you recommend for armor for all the underneath components?
Obviously what lines I drive would be the best protection, but just in case...
Edit: If this isn't the right section to ask this, let me know, it just seemed like the right place to post.

 

You could start with BudBuilt.

 

Ill check them out thanks

 

sounds like you want a transfer case skid plate/crossmember. budbuilt, skid row, all-pro just to name a few. this will not only give better protection since it's a big 'ole chunk of steel plate where you'd most likely hit during a high-center, but will also gain you some belly clearance to avoid hitting in the first place. you can also get a full belly plate system from front to mid, like what budbuilt makes.

if you have an e-locker, get an e-locker guard - try inchworm gear.

don't forget some sliders if you want to be able to open your doors in the event of a boulder (or even a car door) hitting your rocker panel. Trail gear is the cheapest option if you have a welder. Heck, TG even has an armor pack for your rig, just doesn't have a skid plate.

 

also - if you order something like a skid plate from vendor, see if they have some low-profile magnetic drain plugs to install on your diffs and t-case. you'll thank me later

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction everybody

 

skid plates on everything important! plus sliders to protect your cab, very important
