I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra SR5 4x4 that is in need of a new skid plate - the stock one was damaged on a recent trip to my place and they were unable to re-attach it at the last oil change.

I was surprised at how thin the metal was on the skid plate and the dealership wants $400ish for a new one.... Anybody been through this before or have recommendations on where I could find a good solid aftermarket replacement?

I just went through the same thing with my 2013 Tundra and bought one from Budbuilt. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but the thing is much thicker and heavier than the factory one I demolished last year. I bought the two piece, front and mid engine combo for $349 and after tax and shipping, it came out to be right around $400. They don't list it on their site, but if you skip the power coating, the color is actually stainless steel. All the pictures on their site have red plates and I wasn't sure what color I was going to get until I opened the box. I placed the order on July 18th and it was delivered on the 30th. So about two weeks to fabricate and ship. I thought about getting another one of the factory guys, but when the dealership told me it would be $350 plus tax, I figured I might as well buy something better.

here are some pics

Thanks that sound just like what I'm looking for..... did the mounting bolts come with it?

Ebay motors has some used factory skidplates at a discount, aftermarket plates and also the mounting bolts.
