Couldn’t Be Happier!
"As a local customer just getting into off-roading, I wanted to make sure my 2022 Tacoma was protected. I saw this skid plate set on their website for a great price. The YouTube installation video was spot on. I am not someone who typically works on my own truck but the video made it super simple. I look forward to supporting this company moving forward and can’t wait to add more Backwoods gear to my 3rd gen Tacoma!"
Low weight | High quality
"It took me a long time to decide between steel and aluminum skids. I daily drive my truck, so weight was a big factor. I’m glad I went with BW. The skids are excellent quality, welds look great, impact points are reinforced, and they’re seriously beefy. Installation was pretty straightforward. Printed instructions would have been nice; having to watch a video while laying under the truck was a bit of a pain. That said, the printed labels identifying which skid uses which hardware were a great touch. They made installation easier and helped when a bolt inevitably tried to disappear. Total install time was about 1. 5 hours. I haven’t taken any real hits on them yet, but I’ll report back when I do. I can say FedEx performed a drop test, launched them right out of the truck. The box broke, and the skids scraped on the concrete, only needed a quick rattle-can touch-up. Shipping from BWAM to my house in California took six days, which is an easy A+. Big thanks to Mo for the help with ordering."

should've bought steel plates. . .
"i took my tacoma on a couple of trails in Moab and broke the transmission skid and flattened the t-case skid. while they protected the vitals of the truck, the only skid that survived was the engine skid."
Nice skid plates
"Love the fit, finish, and how heavy duty they are for being aluminum. Lots of coverage. Can't beat the price either!"
BWAM skid plate saved my Tacoma
"Absolutely love the design and the material with the black powder coat definitely great quality products. My only complaint is on a Tacoma or any other Toyota everything is metric and this skid plate kit came with standard hardware other than that absolutely amazing products."
Full skid for 14 Taco
"Build strength seems really solid. Installation straightforward. Great deal for a full skid package, light weight aluminum and powder coated."
These skids protect where it counts!
"These skids had their maiden voyage in Moab on the hardest lines those trails have to offer. Dropped off of ledges, onto large boulders, slid down steps, these skid plates ate everything I threw at them and saved my truck from a lot of damage. I would recommend these over many other aluminum skid sets as I am a testament to their rigidity."
Tons of Protection + Weight Savings!
"These skids fit up perfectly. I love the extra side wing protection for the engine skid as well as the flanges on either side of the tranny skid. Plus the raw look is money! Even though these are aluminum, they still do their job and easily weigh half as much as steel. I have the Backwoods front bumper, and the connector plate also meshes super well."
