Has anyone installed an after-market skid plate that fit OEM drill holes/mount points? Or would you recommend just buying the OEM TRD skid plate? Thank you.

I bought the TRD one purely because I got it on super sale, but if I didn't get the deal, I would have gone aftermarket purely for the oil change access doors.
yeah those oil change access doors are key. No idea why Toyota couldn’t include something like that in their design.

I have my TRD Pro one. When I off-road I’ll definitely have aftermarket for the rest of the coverage

i would go aftermarket, they use steel instead of aluminum (toyota) and take those unexpected hits way better than the toyota ones.

but mind you the weight diff between steel and aluminum so that will affect your towing capacity if you pull something off road.
