Is the skid plate for a H55F any different than the 4 speed skid plate on my 1980 FJ40?

The hole for the bolts or rivots do not line up whose on a 80 FJ40.
Could you post a photo of the 5 speed skid plate.Update: I actually checked this out installing a five speed skid plate into my 79 FJ40. My mistake I must have been comparing a three speed skid plate because the five speed skid plate does bolt up in the correct location on my 79.

If you want real protection, you might check with Iron Pig Off Road - they make a heavy-duty skid plate that is big enough to go under an Orion; it might accommodate an H55 as well, I imagine they would know.

I still have my 78 skid plate and has been soaking in solvent and should take it out and power wash it off. Have you put a 4 speed skid pan on a 78 frame with the H55F crossmember? I was thinking about using square turbine or C-channel for spacers or just split it.Forgot about it yeaterday. Here are some. You can see the bolt holes do in fact line up. Have a 82 FJ40 four speed around some where as well. If you need anymore like me know.View attachment 1827198 View attachment 1827199 View attachment 1827200 View attachment 1827201
