LX 570 Skid Plate Question (1 Viewer)

[forchristopher]

I know this is a 'noob' type question... but does the front OEM skid plate come in 2 sections? As you can see, both sides are rusted through (probably a slow radiator leak at some point) and need to replace. Also found a few fairly budget friendly replacement options under $350 from front plate. Open to suggestions though.

Thanks as always!

The front stock skid is 3 parts. You probably can pick up a used set in fairly good condition from a member that removed theirs for pretty cheap.

If you are going to be doing any off-roading, it would be a good idea to get some aftermarket ones.

Thanks.... from what I see, the LC and LX set up is supposed to be the same.... correct?

Excellent, will go ahead and post a 'want' ad in the classifieds. Open to after market options if anyone has suggestions. Just not looking to seriously rock crawl... so no need for a $1500 armor set up.

Hopefully a member sees this here and offers to help out. Doubt many 200 series members look around the wanted ads.

Those skids are really only good for sand a bushes, they cave in pretty easy. I bet the stock front skid is stronger than those.

Have found a couple after market possible options... any experience out there with LFD Offroad? Would certainly contact them about fitment before purchasing.

LC 200 / LX570 Front Skid Plate

One of the most crucial armor components, the front skid takes the blunt of rock bashes, impacts when bottoming out, and general abuse when off pavement. With that in mind, we've built a front skid that stands up to the punishment of trail life! Constructed of .185" steel and features an oil...

I haven't heard of them.

Most of the cheaper skids get rid of the center jack support and the front diff mount guards which will cause these skids to cave in relativity easy which may destroy the diff mounts.

Are you looking for something for off-roading?

If so, pm me if you can wait a couple months for something worth wile.

For what it's worth the Total Chaos skids keep the front diff mount guards.
