does anyone know how hard it is to install a gas tank skid plate on a 06 tacoma double cab and where i can get one

bud built makes them, should be fairly easy and straight forward to install.

Bud sells 2 versions, one regular size and a long.

Here's a write up of my BudBuilt gas tank skid installation. I have a Tacoma Sport that doesn't have any kind of skid plate so it was a little more difficult than if there is an OEM skid. The biggest key is make sure you have 2 things, a friend to help and a very low (gas light on) tank of gas. I probably should have gotten Bud's aftermarket HD tank straps instead of welding the bolts myself.

buds gas tank strap is nice and heavy duty.
