    You may be speaking of threaded holes for Sequoia/Tundra tow hooks.

    those are on the frame horns. Do the ‘03+ have the plastic wings hanging off the side of the skid? I dont remember if those holes are threaded or not.

    You forced the Ole Man to get off his A and go look.

    @Sandyroads I have no clue what those 2 thread holes on each end are for and I've had skid plate off more than a dozen times.

    The metal bumper trucks had plastic ‘wings’ that filled in the bumper corners.

    Well I would like to add an image of my skid plate since I painted it so I can show you where the threads are that I’m talking about

    email the forum moderators with the picture and detailed instructions & they will post you picture within 7-13 business days.






    J/k. I use the ‘upload a file’ button, but there seems to be other ways to do it, also. I dont know how, but a quick search should point you in the right direction. I know shifty has written a detailed list a few times.

    I dont know if the DC/sequoias had the plastic shields like posted in reply #5 & i’m pretty sure thats what the holes were for.

    paint looks good. What color is the sequoia?
