All Trailhunter Skid Plates install on TRD Off-Road: Front Bash Plate, Diff Skid, Transmission Skid Plate

[Gastan]

Here's all three Trailhunter skids installed a TRD Off-Road Tacoma (which shares undercarriage / underbody with 4Runner). Below are post-install photos of all 3 Trailhunter skid plates (vs. factory TRD Off-Road before install).

I've installed all three skid plates found on the Trailhunter. Front Bash Plate, Transmission Skid Plate, and Differential Skid Plate. I've seen some confusion as to whether or not they are steel and they definitely are. They are heavy and magnets stick.​

​

Some important notes before buying, all the front bash plates fit every Offroad, Pro, and TH model Hybrid or not, The Diff Skid and Transmission Skid Plate are different part numbers and sizes for non Hybrids. Installation for the Diff Skid was slightly more complicated but still very straightforward and easy. The other plates just bolted on.​

Very nice! What did you pay for the skid plates if you don’t mind me asking?

I can't believe they cheaped out and put plastic "Skidplates" (really nothing more than splash shields) on the TRD OR.
