On to the belly armor, when I think skid plates I think Bud Built. The 1st and last name in Armoring you 4Runner or Tacoma.
Belly Skid: which is comprised of front and belly.






Painted Wheels: well because the stock ones just aren't as cool!





With the sides armored it was time for a little frontal protection.

Front Bumper: TJM-17





Limit Straps: a combination of Sonoran Steel parts and Kartek offroad, welded into place and 100% effective.



CB antenna mount: The next mod was a cb antenna mount. I cut into the bumper using an uni-bit and mounted it up.




Sliders: totally custom and good to go, I went with a local offroad shop though a little pricier I felt good knowing I was supporting local business.

In the begging she was a 2002 Toyota 4Runner with 69k automatic transmission with the SR5 package and leather seats. The running boards wear the 1st things to go, much to my wife's dismay. I waited about 2-3 months before ordering a lift for the truck.

Lift: consisted of the standard Sonoran Steel package at the time. Gains were expected to be 2.3"-3"

Tires: At the time I was running 285.75.16 BFG AT's measure 32.? X 10.? and an offroad set of 285.75.16 Interco SSR's which measured out 33.9" X 11.?
