Great video! Very detailed, direct,and to the point. I am very impressed. Exactly what I have been looking for.

Great video. Just got mine installed off of this and it was accurate and to the point. Thanks!

Just finished installing it following your video, I hate reading instructions, much appreciated :)

Thanks for the helpful video! Also, the pole Jack is a good melee weapon, so keep that handy when the world finally goes epic bonkers! Thanks again!

I just order my set and looking forward into installing it!

For all future DIY people read this: I have a 2021 Tacoma Off Road that the day I bought it I had the dealer install a TRD skid plate before I drove it off the lot more than a year ago. Today I watched this video and went to install this skid plates set up. Here is my experience so far (I haven't finished): 1. Front skid plate: In this video he says use original hardware to bolt the RCI skids. True but not accurate if you have a Trd front skid. First, you don't need to use any of the spacers that came with the trd plate. So once the plate is out put those away. 2nd, if you unscrewed one of the 2 front or 2 middle screws and they don't come all the way out don't worry. Just keep unscrewing the rest of them and the plate will come out. They are being held by these lock rings that you can destroy to remove the screws completely after the plate is removed. They may not fall to the ground or come out but once you feel it's loose move to the next screw. I wasted a lot of time trying to get one out because I started with the back 2 screws and they came out no problem. The original 2 front screws are too long for the RCI plate. For a snug fit use the screws that held the frame brackets. The original middle screws are too long. Use the original 2 front screws for the middle. They're shorter. If you try to force the original middle longer screws for a snug fit of the RCI plate you'll bend out the metal of the cross bar it's going into above it. If you hear a bang metal noise it's too late (Why am I not smarter?). No issues with the transmission skid plate. 2. Transfer case skid plate: I couldn't mount the support bracket because the screw that goes with the nyloc nut has a wider diameter than the hole. I have to widen the hole. (It's why I didn't finish today). I'll get to it tomorrow. I know there are 2 plastic covers that can be removed on that side. The bigger one is too small for the screw that came with my plate. I don't know if it's an issue with my specific year, being it an off road model, or maybe RCI sent me the wrong screw. ? Good luck out there.

Big Fan of all your videos, you have help me sooooo much !!!! just wanted to know if you will be doing a video on installing tow hitch wiring for 2020 tacoma ?

Nice to see that RCI has fixed the skids. Mine are 6 years old. And do not have the drop pocket for the front diff, or the drop bend for the exhaust crossover. If you have the old ones after a few good hits the skid starts to rub. I fixed mine by welding drop pockets in both places. It would be great to see a rear diff skid install. As it's a really tight fit. Any tricks would be helpful.

Are they alot thicker than the stock skids on the 3rd gen off-road trim?

Good video. Thank you. Would like to see same for your Ranger build.

What are you torquing the bolts to? The front skid instructions just say factory specs, so should it be 22ft lbs all around?

Would you like to, perhaps, show us which bolt goes in the passenger side of the transfer case........

Is anti seize or (red or blue) thread locker used on any of the bolts?

Just wondering if when taking out the oil pan plug won't make a mess

This may be a knob question, but I recently got the RCI transmission and cat protector plates, and you do have to remove the cat bars, correct? Are there any negative effects safety or warranty-wise to removing them? They don't provide any structural support, right? Just wondering if there are any issues with removing the cat bars.

Does the skid plate cover and protect the catalytic converter? Mine was chopped off and stolen.

It's ok to remove those front arms? Nothing structurally compromised by doing that?

Does this skid plate cover the catalytic converter, or do you know of any that would? I want to add skid plates to mine, and I live in an area with a lot of catalytic converter theft happening.

Which skid plate material would you recommend, the steel or the aluminum?

Like your video ---- a question: would the full skid plate installation interfere with installing bolt on rock-sliders?

Which would you recommend 3/16” or 1/4” ?

Awesome skid plates! Do these skid plates clear for an added diff drop kit spacers? I am trying to find a skid plate that will work with them. Thanks!

What are those bars do in the front and back seems like factory structural pieces, I can see how front ones replaced with skid plate for at least one directional forces, but I don't see the tube shaped ones being removed and their function substituted?

Can a 1st gem tacoma rci skid plate fit on a 3rd gen tacoma...?

How much does this full skid package weigh?

How about shipping to Canada 🇨🇦? Is it possible?

How to order?

Finally a mechanic that don't wear gloves. Never trust one that is scared to get their hands dirty just like never eat a skinny cooks food!

Is this legal to do this?
