Anyone know of a company with the trans and sump guard in stock? Everywhere I've found has these as a special order and unable to ship until almost the 1st of the year. Thanks.
 
Have you tried Slee or BIOR?
 
Then my bad @wpsfan; I wasn't sure if you were only looking for TJM or any skids. I believe neither sell TJM.

Have you tried Dirty Parts?

For the price, I think I can to! I did find a write-up about installing though and there is some modification/drilling to be done.

I have uninstalled Slee skids, but they're HEAVY. I'm really trying to keep down the weight gain as much as possible..

plus, the Slees dont look easy to deal with if you need to do a repair on something covered by them...

I was in the same boat earlier this year. I couldn't justify the extra cost or weight of the slee or BIOR skids with the trails I do. I just bit the bullet, ordered, and waited the two months for them to come in.

I find it kind of funny that thanks to Amazon, if it takes longer than a week to come in it honestly bothers me. Growing up we would regularly wait that long or longer.
 
Larry needs to spend less time on Larry's Blog and more time fixing the Dirty Parts' search function. I kept entering Year, Make, Model... then I'd see parts for a Tacoma, Rav4... So, I tried by parts category - saw lots of neat chrome Westin nerf bars... for Jeeps, Dodges... Then I tried the key word... and found a sweet step bar for a 4-door JK.

In the end, never saw any skid plates on their site - let alone for a Land Cruiser... of any year. I wonder how, in 2015, companies like that stay in business. You'd think someone - anyone in the building - would click through their own site and say "Uhm, boss... our $*#& is broken"

strange, i found them without a problem :confused: i just clicked on TJM, skid plates, and went to the 100 Series...
 
I just ordered mine from summit racing. These are pretty good for how much they cost. Total to my door with shipping was right under $200 for both. Wouldn't hesitate to buy it again from summit for that price!

Ohh by the way, summit told me that I wouldn't get my plates till the end of November and I ordered it in September. They came 1 month after I ordered them.

Shouldn't be a problem with an OME setup and Slee Diff drop, right?

I would think they wouldn't fit with the Slee Diff drop. That is why the Slee skid plate is the way is (the front one), to go with the drop.
 
I have a Slee skid and BIOR diff drop and it works fine. As long as the diff drop has the threaded holes exactly where the stock was, I think it would be fine.

:hhmm: but if you have a Slee/BIOR drop and TJM bash plates?
 
I have a diy diff drop and it just touches where the diff drop bar is welded lower (welded 3/4 inch down). All is fine. It attaches to the front of the oem front plate. It's pretty durable as I have been high centered on it many times and scraped it though some really narley stuff.

Here is a post in mud about the plates.

Same here, I rarely buy anything but Amazon prime gets me every time. I'm going to go ahead and order from summit, I'm in no hurry, just spoiled from Amazon.

It'd be a risk to take, but I would assume they would all interchange. My thought here is that Slee and BIOR build their diff drops to fit the stock skid plate and put the 2 threaded holes in the same location as the stock skid plate and any skid plates would also have holes that bolt up to the stock location also.

Worse case scenario you drill out 2 new holes or enlarge the holes in the TJM to accomodate the diff drops.
