    what do you guys / gals recommend for new skid plates ?

    Want one that gives me access to change my oil without having to take the one off . I have a 3.5 inch lift so I guess I have to consider that when I’m looking

    Better to ask then to blindly buy.

    The TRD one is a pain in the ass. No oil filter access.

    I have the front skid only. Eventually might get all 3. I believe @T-Rex266 has all 3.

    The TRD Pro skid has a trap door, but general consensus here is RCI.
