2005-2021 Tacoma Skid Plate Weld-Together Kit

From: CAD$656.77

This is a drivetrain skid plate DIY weld-together kit for the 2nd and 3rd generation (2005-2021) Toyota Tacoma. This 2-piece set features a bolt-on design, recessed hardware and complete coverage from the front frame crossmember to the rear of the transfer case. This means protection of the radiator, front differential, engine oil pan, steering rack, transmission and transfer case! This skid plate set uses existing holes and mounts on the frame and requires no drilling or vehicle modifications of any kind. Multiple reinforcement ribs run the length of the skid set, making these skid plates drastically stronger than other skid plates on the market which are simply bent into shape with little to no reinforcements and inadequate mounts.

Description

•DIY Weld-together kit – This skid plate set arrives as precision CNC-laser cut pieces that you then weld together (detailed assembly instructions included)

•Complete 2-piece set that provides excellent protection of the radiator, front differential, engine oil pan, steering rack, transmission and transfer case

•Coastal Offroad Tree logo cut into front skid plate

•Heavy duty 3/16″ plate steel construction for maximum offroad strength and durability

•Optional 1/4″ 5052 aluminum construction for a lightweight yet very durable overlanding setup (65lb weight savings)

• All recessed hardware – there is not a single exposed bolt head on this skid plate set to fall prey to rocks and other trail obstacles.

• Front plate bolts directly to frame using 6 factory mounting points – no drilling required

• Rear plate bolts directly to frame using 6 mounting points- no drilling required

• Oil drain hole allows for oil changes without skid plate removal

• Slotted mounting holes for hassle-free assembly and installation

•All kits ship as clean, bare metal that is ready to weld out of the box – the Nitrogen laser cutting technology means no cutting edge oxidation and thus easier and stronger welds

Skid Plate Assembly

As for welding, with everything designed using CAD software and then CNC laser-cut to size, the pieces fit together perfectly and this makes for a very simple assembly process. All kits come with detailed instructions with plenty of clearly labelled diagrams that are made using cutting-edge CAD software. This bumper kit is well within the ability of a novice welder and many customers have purchased it as their very first welding project with great results! This is made possible by the clean parts fit-ups and thick material. These are two factors that make welding significantly easier. Welding is one of those skills that is easier to learn than you may think and once you can do it, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it. Alternatively, many individuals buy the kits and then have a local welder assemble it for them. Even in this case, it typically ends up being less expensive than buying a pre-fabricated bumper – especially after considering the lower shipping costs of our kits vs. fully assembled bumpers.
