    So, after just picking my fj up from toyota from its service – I find out the “standard skid plate” (about the thickness of a baked bean tin can) and the radiator has been bent but luckily has no leaks. 😐
    I left the procurement of a better skid plat too late but now obviously will have to sort one before any further damage. Any suggestions on best material & thickness?
    I’m aware of Bestline garage – what kind of prices can I be expected to pay there or at another location? :thanks:

    Hi Philip,

    Last year I paid 1500 AED at Bestline garage for a 8 mm aluminium skid plate which is protecting quite well the radiators and other parts.

    Have a good day

    Hi Philip

    u can’t go wrong with best line garage. I got my f150 a fabricated bumper n skid plate from them.

    Really satisfied with the job done and it didn’t cost me an arm.

    You can meet Shibu there and he will advise you. He is an offroader and knows his job well

    let me know if u need any help :ymhug:

    Got my FJ skid plate from Shibu at Best Line. Very reasonable pricing.

    Hi, Phil! I am in the same boat – have been looking to get a proper protection for a while. Icon in Al Quoz (Dubai) quotes 1200 for an 8mm plate. Sounds cheaper than Bestline, but I don’t know how different they look. If you find out, please let me know 🙂

    I got mine from Icon for 1300 and couldn’t be happier. 8mm for 1300. They also removed excess trays and things from under the car that were not necessary with the plate fitted so ground clearance was much better than standard bash plate.

    I have an ICON one lying around as took it off after about a weeks use. I had paid 1800 for it and it comes with a support frame, removable cap for the filter and wings for covering the lower suspension parts.

    No scratches or dents but I am sure there will be a lot of dust now as its been sitting around for some time. Pls check the link for pictures and details and call me if interested.
