Frequently Asked Questions

+ Can I install this skid plate by itself?

No. This transmission skid plate is part of a modular system and is designed to bolt to the Cali Raised LED Front Skid Plate. You must have their front skid plate installed first for this plate to mount correctly.

+ Will this skid plate work with my FJ Cruiser's KDSS suspension?

No, this skid plate system is not compatible with Toyota FJ Cruiser models equipped with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) due to differences in the frame and sway bar mounting. Please verify your vehicle's suspension before ordering.

+ Do I have to drill or make permanent modifications to my FJ?

Absolutely not. The entire Cali Raised LED skid plate system is 100% bolt-on and uses existing factory mounting points on your vehicle's frame. No drilling, cutting, or welding is required, and the installation is completely reversible.

+ Which material is right for me, steel or aluminum?

It depends on your primary use. Steel offers maximum durability and is ideal for serious rock crawling where heavy impacts are common. Aluminum provides excellent protection for most overlanding and trail riding scenarios, with the added benefits of being significantly lighter and naturally rust-resistant.
