Will I have to remove the OEM front skid plate to mount this?

No, on my 13 tacoma the skid plate stayed in place but i did have to remove one of the two tow hooks (passenger side had to go for mounting reasons)

I believe you need to the the OEM hitch. I have Uhaul hitch and rear bumper will not fit, so now I have a large paper weight. I was not able to return it. True fully it is just for cosmetic looks, since it will not provide much protection

Yes, xD i took the plate off but its oversized enough that you could remove the screws and mount the new pad back over the original pad and prevent its loss, also stripper clips are really tight i took pliers and loosened em' up a bit also closed up one end so i could only load them one direction to help avoid rim-lock

It shouldn't but be prepared to cut you're front diff mount for the new one.

I had originally factory plastic skid plate and I had to cut out slots to accommodate mounting brackets.

Hey Shadow.....You will need 1 1/2" of overhand for complete 100% contact of the rubber covered mounting screw.....this will provide full contact with the mounting screw/pad.gary

Yes, i would recomend purchasing a super winch mounting plate for your exact model and do not use the one that came in the box...its a universal one that you mau have to drill holes in....

I believe that all license plate mounts are threaded the same. The manufacturer would probably give you a 100% answer

The only mount I see is on the top of the hand grip. The "foot" portion has a rubber non-skid cap that I assume is a pressure fit which I have not tried to remove. Does not look like it is intended to be removed either. But still a great idea you could pass along to the manufacturer. Best of look in your shopping.

Yes.....I installed mine over the exsisting skid plate...The directions call for removing it...but it will fit nicely in combination.

Hello,Bolts are not included with this part. You will need two metric 8x16 flange bolts for each skid plate.Thank you.

Tom, the answer is no. When installing the mount, you first have to remove the stripper clip guide.

yes, you back the OEM screws out. I put a piece of tape between. and then use the new screws

It should its universal it just attaches to your frame underneath with u bolts where ever they line up on your frame. You might have to take your skid plate off .hope that helps

Yes it's a straight forward installation, I purchased this item a few weeks back, everything you need is included, including the back plate and screws

I have the base model Tacoma, 2014, that bar fit on mine perfect and looks good. Don't know about the skid plate or tow hooks...
