How much is this front skid plate?



Does anyone have the above OEM part, its SKU# or know how much it costs? My local Toyota dealer quoted me $500+ for it. Is that true? Sounds overpriced.

Thanks.

Edward

I recall the dealer telling me it about $360. I got one for half of that on ebay.

My ride

First of all, thank you guys for your input. I will keep an eye on flea-bay now.

My ride's current photo can be seen at this link: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...threadid=18185

It is the lower picture of thread #3 posted by Hilux Surf (me).

My avatar shows the old 'Blackmobile' look.

I hope you don't have any illusions that it is a real skid plate. It is for looks only and will not stand up to anything at all.

Yes, I have the factory Toyota "skid plate" from the Sport edition sitting in my garage if you are still interested. Let me know.

Hi Gadget, yes I realize that this is a dress-up part. I already have a JAOS front skid plate. This OEM one will be for looks only cos' it is positioned more to the front (ie: more noticeable). My only concern is that if I can install it in addition to my JAOS one.

Hi calg3, I just PM'd you.

Edward
