BudBuilt skids for up to 02 tacos/4 runners now available

Hey thought I would throw post up for people with up to 02 tacomas or 4Runners or even '86 to '95 trucks or 4 Runners.
He also sells belly skids and transfer case clocking adapter for tacos who want to do a complete flat belly on thier truck.

Check out www.budbuilt.com


He really makes some great solid products. His stuff is made 100% in the USA and not anything that is imported with a name slapped on it.
I have a bunch of his parts on my truck really good stuff.

I'll second that for Bud. Insane quality, buitl to last, and you won't find a nicer guy.

I won't own a Toyota truck without his crossmember.

Budbuilt's stuff is outstanding

It'll take the full weight of the truck with no problem, and then some. It also is great for clearence. I fully recomend his stuff.

We (www.tornadoalleyfab.com) are currently putting one in but are not ready to release any info yet. Look for a complete write up coming soon.

Budbuilt, Front Range Off Road Fab and Sky Manufacturing all offer awesome crossmembers for your 87 4runner.
If you ever plan on running dual cases, get the FROR with the skid/crossmember and tcase mount.

Finally this morning I install the Skid Plate, It fits perfect. It's about 40-50 lb and I didn't have problem bolting it on by myself. It works great with 1" diff drop spaced and probably have about 3/16 clearance between the plate and diff mounts. I am very happy with results. The price was great also. Some Pictures

Just ordered my skid from Bud today. Can't wait to replace the stock tin foil that I have to pound out every time I go wheeling.
