I carry more things than you

It’s totaled send it to me I’ll scrap it

I am also looking to have some kind of steel reinforcement fabricated that will attach to the recovery points; guess I should have just gone with one of the aftermarket’s and waited. Wasn’t keen on not even having a debri shield though

Clever, though admittedly I worry about the welds breaking

Confirming the front attachment points for the FE skid are… weak sauce

Whilst installing my skid plate, wouldn’t ya know…. Noticed my Radiator bracket is bent

I mean if I put the FE * I mean if I put the FE front plate in only (part 60242), might I be able to install the trans skid of, say c4 fab in the future and then further down the line upgrade the front skid

Here’s a thought, assuming you removed the back row seats: Plywood board, 6 4x4s. 4 of the 4x4s go over the bolted legs, two go at the front of the bed all the way to the floor. Drill through the 4x4s that are over the battery bolts, then screw down with some real long bolts. Voila

I’ll stick with FE for now just because I needed it today. Might upgrade iteratively in the future; anyone know if aftermarket trans plates fit with the front fe plate generally?

The goose gear platforms are bolted down where the metal ‘cage’ is bolted. That is to say, the bottom of the cage’s legs where they meet the floor. Nothing on the goose gear is bolted to the top of the cage/battery

If you think Toyota’s is bad, Subarus nearly violently jerks you to the side on exits and turn lanes. Got me in an accident once. Anyway, I love LTA have never had a problem anticipating its quirks. I find it very predictable when I need to nanny the nanny

Be nice if eco mode actually inhibited boost unless significant pressure on the gas pedal or something. I dunno maybe it’s a safety thing

Well, it’s because it’s plastic and plastic is malleable. I don’t like it but you’d be hard pressed to find a new car that didn’t heavily utilize plastic trim

Coming up on 10k

thanks They seem easy enough to install if I can find somewhere to act as a ramp

Can you share the parts numbers? I’ve seen the trans plate but not the front

Ah so there’s a transmission skid but no oem front skid? Or am I seeing this wrong

My dealership is insistent they’re incompatible lol

Thanks for the rec, not trying to wait so long though

Keep in mind, if you upgrade tires and you got the tire and wheel protection when buying, you have to stick with 265/70R18 (assuming you got 18” wheels). Otherwise replacement tires wont Be covered

Yup, just the plate got snagged. Wasn’t even a tall rock

It turned out not to be as involved as the document posted on another thread made it seem. It initially looked like there were 5 sets of trim to remove in very awkward places, especially on a trail. Turned out to just be one piece of trim and 5 bolts easy to reach. For the front plate at least...

That said, all the dealership and mfg paperwork said this vehicle had skid plates. It’s definitely not steel, but also not paper machee like Subarus debri shield.

Time to get a skid plate then

I’m at this very moment out in the middle of nowhere with a trashed front skid plate and scratching my head on how to even approach this lacking ramps…
