    Because I was busy with tax season and dealing with the IRS, I had a local shop with a good off-road work reputation do some work.

    UCA, LCA, ball joints, and Toytec front suspension. So far, good job.

    I also had then install an Iron Bull front bumper and winch (heavy SOB).

    I had just done an oil change, so hadn't put the skid plate back on.

    When I picked it up, I took it to my shop to put the skid plate back on, and there was no front skid plate mount. I took it back down to the shop and told them they forgot to put the mount back on. Yesterday I got a call and they claimed that the skid plate mount interfered with the bumper, so they couldn't do it.

    I called BS, and called Johnny up at Iron Bull. He said they never even should have had to take the skid plate mount off. It turns out they mistakenly threw away the mount along with other scrap metal.

    Pull-A-Part here it Tucson has a 2003 Sequoia on the yard, so I am going down there tomorrow and see if it is salvageable.

    Options???

    Access cab? I may have a spare laying around if it's the OEM one, and not aftermarket.

    BTW, the beast looks awesomely good. Kind of like a beefed up Taco. I will post pics once I get it back from the shop.

    Oh, yes. I will not do it. However, I figured I could possibly find one easier than they could. They are definitely paying

    I still have it. Surface rust where it goes onto the frame. Could easily be cleaned up with wire wheel, primer, and paint. Otherwise, excellent shape.

    I have no clue what these are going for at the junkyard if you can even find one.

    $20, plus shipping and it's yours @lc69hunter

    Find out what the shipping is to Tucson AZ and let me know.
