Back with a Toyota

The caster added is because you can only correct so much lost with lower cam adjustments.

I definitely agree oem bs is bs.

Ooops, got drunk and ordered a front skid. Just the OEM pro. Oh well. LOL

Shamelessly stolen from TW (thanks for ratting me out @CJF )

SoftTopper; so like most these companies they have had the pandemic affect them as well.

Backorder for their material was the first delay; 2nd delay is with utility clamps. They expect the clamps to be in next week.

We will see. From poking around the interwebs; orders for the SB go back to July. I ordered mine Aug 14th.

Im in no rush. Just posting what I've found in delays.

Are you looking to go 285s already? Given the TW consensus that they require a CMC you might want to wait until your factory warranty is closer to being expired.

I stepped up to 265/75r16 when I first brought mine home. Was really torn on going 255/85s or not. I’m not a big fan of the stock TRD OR wheels either, but since I’ve already rock rashed them they’ll stay until I go 17’s.

The SoftTopper is worth the wait, we really like ours. I just wish the rear window could prop up like a hard shell does.

Undecided on wheels and rubber. But MOST likely not 285's. I would most likely go to the 268/75r16 or 17" equiv.

Skid arrived! Seems a decent quality and little heftier than expected.

That's what she said.

Damn skrait!

Wait what?

Skeet skeet

Apparently I also forgot to tell the I bought said skid.

She came home to “WTF is that and where does it go”

I simply said it’s for the BMW and not to worry, you won’t notice it once installed.

No more fish bowl

Frustrated at work? Go install a skid plate. That will make you feel better

I bet that added at least 30 hp.

OH! Just wait until I get the rattle can going!

Seriously though the wanted it out of her sight since you know it was only just delivered yesterday and we didn't even have the truck then (was at the tint shop). So I had planned on painting it and removing the red TRD, but decided to just slap it on there. Actually doesn't bother me much. The pics online make it to look a lot more like white VS the silver color in comes in and just a little lighter in shade than the skysilver whatever color the truck is.

Giving all the negatives of people saying its aluminum, and weak, and blahblahblah, it's 100% better than the tinfoil stock stuff I took off.

I think it looks great and has much better coverage than TRD skid plate for the 4Runner.

Poser shots while I let it sit in the sun bath a bit for the tint to cure.

Guess we’ll see if f they stick.

 

[Piscivour]

Those usually stick pretty good unless you have a manic dog (or a drunk friend) trying to pry it's head out of a partially rolled down window. That's usually restricted to the rear windows though.
