4mm skid plate - is it enough?

Hey @Niki Patel, I just had a skid plate installed on my car yesterday. I saw the offer you’re talking about for all 3 skid plates for 900 AED (ARB I believe). I passed on that offer, and instead opted for an 8 mm aluminum front skid plate.  The shop took measurements of my car and laser-cut the plate and installed it. It was around 1000 AED for this job, and the bash plate looks very solid. 

@Ahab Shamaa many thanks and if you could share the place you got your work done I will drop by as it seems a more suitable option.  The 900aed option was an AOR branded skid plate set so was very tempting (brand and price) but having a custom made thicker and potentially lighter version is a no brainer.  Thank you all above and below who replied with experience and guidance!  Helping a newbie like me massively and a testament  to this forum and community!  Hope in the future I can offer support to others like I have received already!

To stay completely unbiased to safeguard every Carnity member interest, we have restricted brand promotions and sharing of car business details here.

As in past many car businesses have motivated Carnity members to promote their brand and products by flooding meaningful discussions.

Hence we have decided to stay focused on practical, relevant and unbiased solutions, rather than the solution providers. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @Niki Patel an 8-10mm plate in aluminum is a better choice. Since you drive an fj, finding a skid plate won’t be a difficult. Lots of garages already stock pre made skid plates for vehicles ( with fjs and Jeep being a popular choice). I myself have a 10mm aluminum plate installed on my car.

Try garages in Ras al Khor or Al quoz. Lots of choices over there

Thank you everyone for the advice!  I being new to Toyota and FJs are learning all about the massive choices in independent   garages out here!  With my previous Land Rover experience, general garages were a mistake and finding a specialist made all the difference.  Apologies admins as I now know the rules on promoting product/garage and appreciate this as it ensures genuine discussions.  
 

I have all I need with regards advice ... and will now explore Al Quoz and beyond 😂 to learn about the options available for me!  Wish me luck and see you on the dunes soon I hope!
