    After working on my 15 SRT I noticed unused nut mount tabs on the rear of my under engine skid plate. Any clues what those are for?

    I believe they are there for rocks to bend them back and out of the way.

    I may go out on a limb here with it but since the 4R is based on the overseas LC Prado 150 they may offer a addidtional skid that mounts to it that isn’t offered in the US market

    Gotcha, thanks. Would be nice if they had another plate available.
