Best damn thing I ever added to my truck. Major boost of confidence on the trials, which gets me into ALOT of trouble, but worth every penny for the peice of mind. Oh and did I mention, BUD ROCKS, super great guy, awesome customer service, unbeatable products, and worth mentioning again, super great guy.

It's actually a game for me now called, "How can I dent these things?"

I've actually won once or twice, but it sure does take ALOT and my bends are only at the ends of the belly pan, when I landed the entire weight of the truck on the edges.

I don't have one of Bud's skid plates, so I can't comment on that, but I will say that Bud is an awesome guy. I met him at EC4RJ3, and he just cracked jokes on his CB on the way back from the trails. Real cool guy, and he can do some pretty amazing stuff with his Taco.

you can get them with an oil hole...to drain the oil.

Personally, i pay my dealership 25 and get my oil changed there since I am using dino.

I also get a free car wash every time I go there...wahooo!

I can attest for the drain hole not working worth a flip. I just tried changing my oil for the first time in a long time and it went everywhere. I'll have to take the plates off and wash them now. From now on, I'll take it to the dealership and let them wrestle with the skids.
