    Hi,

    I'm wondering if anyone ever tried to fit the ARB skid plates for FJ cruiser and Prado on his Tacoma?

    Thanks.

    that just a lift point for jacking the truck up. you could remote it and not harm the integrity of the truck.

    We're did they not fit? Was it just the front skid? Or was it all of them?

    Front part not at same angle, need to cut a lot of the jacking point and 2 bolt not alligned. The skid fit perfectly on fj and 4runner. Both have the same front end.
