Hi! Thank you for the kind words and for checking out my channel. I appreciate it and I hope my future content can be beneficial to you in some way! Cheers and good luck on your DIY projects!

I just got a ‘22 TRD 4x4 Off-Road, and spent the day binging on all your videos. You do a great job producing and narrating. I’ve learned a lot. I like this truck way more after seeing all your videos!

Looks awesome, good job! 👍

Hey just want to share my experience 2022 offroad install: It was going well until the actual install of the skid plate with threading the 12mm and 15mm bolts. I think my skid plate was a defect as the holes weren't aligned with the truck. Long story short, I had to drill out bigger holes in order to make this fit. Great video and it fits after making that adjustment.

🛠 Question of the day: What skid plate are you using⁉ Also sorry for the delay this week! It's been raining like crazy here in Winnipeg.

So what about using the jack point with it now being covered? Can you use it thru the skid plate?

It does looks good after that. Who said u got to have the original TRD skid plate. This looks perfect and reasonable price too.

I’m looking at getting a Tacoma but I’m trying to find different options. To my knowledge the Tacoma Limited doesn’t come with skid plates, would I be able to install some on a Limited just as easily as this and other videos I’ve seen? I’ve never seen any videos on people installing them on a Limited, which may be because it’s not possible. I’d love to know what you think.

@themandiyrin

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for checking out my channel! In regards to your question, you are correct there’s not a lot of videos out there for the skid plate install on a limited. However, since you’re able to install a skid plate on an SR5 (which is a lower trim than your limited), my opinion is that you can install it on the limited as well. I believe the third gen Tacoma’s have the same bolt patters and main changes are with drive trains and off road features, which is the case on SR5 vs. Limited. Hope that helps!

One more thing that would be helpful to others… the TRD Off Road has a second skid plate to protect the transmission. It’s where the rear small bolts would mount.

Hi yes it'll fit as I have the same truck (2022 TRD Sport). In regards to the air dam, you won't be able to place it back since the skid plates front will block some of the screw holes for the air dam. I guess you can always cut the air dam to make it fit but I've never tried.
