I welded my skid plate back together last night. I tore it up by accidentally (i am serious, it was an accident) getting the truck airborne and bottoming out on a rock. Luckily, the skid plate did the job and nothing beneath it was damaged. I found out the factory replacement is $250. I will have pics soon.
On that note, I have not found anything on aftermarket skid plates. Anyone have some insight on where to find them?

Don't even bother with the stock tin foil. Here is what I'm saving for.
Protects the circuitry if you install the truck battery backwards.

Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either. Basically I got banned for having my own opinion on this site and I didn't fit their idea of a "TundraDork" or whatever they changed their name to.

Will do. Cover worked out perfect! Thanks again! I have pics of it now, but trying to wait until it is totally finished.
Cool! I know you are meticulous since you show your truck and I looked that thing over a few times to make sure it didn't have any damage. Glad it worked out

Thanks for that bro! As long as it was not cut up, like the last one, it would for sure work out!

Installed my bed tool box, had to improvise with the mounting. I didnt want to drill into the bed so i was able to ue the no drill bracket at the front of the box facing the tailgate and after many hours of tring to figure out how to secure down the back side i came up with cutting a hole in the box itself and installing the pop up tie downs through the box. Worked out great, and when i need to remove the box i can slip in my tie downs back into the pockets. The front brackets however had to be moved slightly forward of the pre dilled slots in the bo so i had to improvise there also. The bed contours wouldnt allow for the brackets to move all the way back.
Got the door handles swapped out for the color matched ones. The truck looks SO much better with color matched/keyed handles. Plus, this was an easy mod...total time was only like 15 mins. (sorry about the dirty truck )
