BPF Skid Plate

Introduction I decided to enhance the look of my Tacoma by buying a skid plate. While I do want something that will work as a skid plate, I didn’t want a lump of grey metal. The TRD Pro skid looks good but I’m not a big fan of trying to make one trim look like another. I decided to get Bullet Proof Fabricating’s (BPF) skid plate.

When the 2016 3rd gen was released I wasn’t sure how good it was going to be. Especially with competition from the rereleased Chevy Colorado.
