From what I can tell it's only used for cracked guards, which seems to be a very small number of vehicles, so warranty . I'd guess no chance of getting it done just because you want it.
You might be able to buy the patch if you know the part number, which i don't, and get it installed. Doesn't look like a very complicated process other than cleaning umder the guard before installing the patch.Last edited by krypto; 11-04-2014, 08:30 AM.[B]Steve[/B]

I've contacted my local dealer and he has searched high and low and there is no mention of the patch.
From the pic, it looks like the dealer may have sourced an inner guard, cut it up and bolted it on. The bolts however will weaken the whole guard if the holes are drilled through the original guard. From an engineering point of view, I don't think the patch is an improvement due to the bolts. Happy to be corrected though.

It is an official Toyota patch which is why it fits perfectly, the bolts don't weaken the guard provided the holes are drilled correctly and rust proofed. The whole thing feels rock solid. Would take forever to make one yourself.
It's also the first one fitted so maybe that's why it's not commonly known, but can't see why Toyota wouldn't be happy to sell them. Will post a part number if I can find it.Last edited by krypto; 16-04-2014, 12:27 PM.[B]Steve[/B]

On last maintenance battery was replaced at dealer under warranty, the new one is larger, they said is better for quicker startups, but now I dont know if this is going to cause problem in the future, I dont do offroad, just city driving, but this streets are far from smooth,
Actually is larger than tray
