OEM skid plate ORP

Took my skid plate off while doing an oil change (not necessary I think) and not sure if I installed it correctly. See photos. I feel like those 2 circled prongs should not be exposed however everything fits together correctly?

 

They should. You’re fine.

 

Looks great to me!

 

Yeah looks exactly like my base sr5 4x4. I would have thought they would come with better skids than the base

I always wondered about the tabs too, but I assume if you want to add extra stuff, there’s your holes for bolts and nuts

 

For future reference, you just need to lower the front engine skid and remove the 2 bolts holding the access cover in place on the rear skid to get to the drain bolt.

The two tabs at the back are for a splash cover that I think only came on the limited trim. I could be wrong here. I also recall the my gen4 had a small sheild attached here. Think it was pretty flimsy.

 

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Much appreciated.

 

Those are for the air diverter on the full time 4wd models.

 

@walzone - I'm guessing you didn't know that the small plate with 2 bolts just in front of those two tabs comes off to gain access to the oil drain plug...

 

I had the same question a while back. The link below will take you to my post where someone was kind enough to include a pic of what’s installed there on the all wheel drive Limited model.
