Lol I felt that closing statement. That's why i appreciate this channel. I don't have unlimited money and you help me research what best to put on my rig to avoid wasting it.

@jschwartzlow 4 месяца назад

Thank you for commenting on MPG. There are many that talk about steel heavier than aluminum, but there is a serious lack of measured data on the real difference.

@OverlandPNW 11 месяцев назад

Great points and as you said it all depends on the type of off-roading you like to do. Everyone makes their own choice. Steel for me.

@InGratitudeIam 11 месяцев назад

On my TRD Pro, that gas tank skid is pathetic. It got destroyed after three easy/moderate runs. Aluminum tends to stick on rocks whereas steel slides. Hefty Fabworks makes great aluminum skids. They gusset the crap out of them. I'm surprised that you didn't go into the temperature differentials for the transmission and front transfer case. Also, another issue with skids is mud. Mud is corrosive and can cause parts that spin to fail if not cleaned on a regular basis. Skids trap mud. Even "easy" trails have their perils. Tall grass conceals BIG rocks. And yes, aerodynamics with the undercarriage is important and often overlooked.

@InGratitudeIam 11 месяцев назад

I forgot to mention, Zach, you brought up some GREAT points. Thans.

@sevin7773 11 месяцев назад

Bro your trixed out already! I wanna see what it can do... so hurry & go on some overland trip in Minnesota! I want to see if there's anything here.

@OverlandEngineer 11 месяцев назад

Haha, yeah…I could do most stuff in Minnesota without skids. I go on trips I just don’t typically film them. I don’t feel I can film them well where they are enjoyable to watch but I may try to this fall. “OVLDENG” is 20% OnXOffroad. Use that to find trails but there isn’t much here…Wisconsin and Michigan have stuff too

RSG here in Colorado.Steel if you live in the mountains.

@ItsTOUGHtobeFascinating 11 месяцев назад

I have C4 skids on my runner. I put a different bumper on and have to add a skid for it. I think that will help my mpg. I also plan to add the gas tank skid but haven't yet. I've got a ton of things I've bought but haven't put on. Maybe in the fall. It's too hot right now.

@tuckerhiggins4336 6 месяцев назад

That gas skid needs drainage holes.....

@barcainho 11 месяцев назад

The stock skids are not as bad as you portrayed them. The oem gas tank skid is actually pretty good. I accidentally lifted the 4runner using the stock oem gas tank skid and all i got is a small indentation.

@InGratitudeIam 11 месяцев назад

While one can't always count on luck. Luck certainly counts!

@VladimirGolev 2 месяца назад

Hey. Great video. What was the point and thought process for you to replace a stock front skid plate? Is it much worse than c4?

@OverlandEngineer 2 месяца назад

It kind of depends on what you are doing. Many stock skids are more designed for bouncing gravel or a driveway scrape and often help with aerodynamics for mpg benefits. Aluminum is a happy medium if you don't see rocks too often but occasionally might catch something big. People that doing rocky trails often mangle aluminum skids fairly quickly. I opted for steel because they are a little heavier but are much more durable and cheaper than aluminum. Many people I know with aluminum are fine with them getting bent and then they will replace it. They prefer that approach to save the weight. I'd rather save the money and I think it helps to bring the center of gravity down of the truck a bit. It depends on the trails, budget, and protection wanted...etc.

@VladimirGolev 2 месяца назад

@@OverlandEngineer thanks for a quick response. I think mine is steal (but need to doublecheck it). I believe only TRD pro is aluminum stock for 4Runners. Will do some research if I really want to replace a stock front skid or it’s enough for me. Thank you!

@OverlandEngineer 2 месяца назад

@@VladimirGolev Yep! I guess too, I am referring to aftermarket skids that are aluminum and steel. They are typically thicker than the OEM skids. The aluminum skid on the TRD Pros is slick but just not very big...
