Tacoma Armor Discussion: Skid Plates and Oil Change Access

By far the most simple mod I've ever done and probably will do was replacing the volume knob with the billet Mace MFG knob. The sleek topo and billet construction adds a cool touch to a very plasticy interior. Was as easy as popping the stock one off and putting the new one on...30 second install.

I recently added some factory armor to the front and differential of my Tacoma. I'm still waiting for the sliders to arrive and mulling over whether to get the transfer case skid plate available for the Trailhunter model.

One thing caught my eye: the new TRD front skid plate no longer has an access point for oil changes. I’m guessing this is because the oil filter’s been relocated, which I'm still yet to confirm. I can't lie, this really stood out compared to older plates I’ve checked out.
