E&E Off-Road 200 Series Skid Plate System

Enhanced.
After the first test, I needed to cut another 1/2" off the plastic, I like how easy everything comes apart.

This is a great solution, looks very nice and certainly increases clearance which is desperately needed, what is the weight on this setup? Using all the aluminum should be some nice weight savings but I read where you mentioned there was a 1" thick chunk of aluminum under there, that is some beef!!

Currently it is 48Lbs, it has pockets cut out of the 1" thick parts.

To add winch mounting, it would probably add at most 10lbs.

Crash bar is 22lbs
Other things removed is probably 10-20lbs

I don't notice any additional weight.
I also painted some of the bumper parts black.

I like the black wings with the Al center skid

What do you think about this? Is it the first ever?

This little protrusion is a bad idea.

It also shows how much better the 200 series geometry is compared to the taco's\4runners.

Yet so many 200 series owners putting those crappy Tacoma style grill with “raptor lights” on their trucks

But patent pending!

After this weekends desert trip taking some woops the size of Moon craters I found a bunch of love marks on my front bumper. I’m thinking this setup would solve that issue easily

The approach angle is definitely better. I'm not sure if I'll make more of the bumper or not, we will see.

I'm making another run of 25 sets of skids, they will most likely be ready around June.
