This essential armor provides uncompromised protection for the vulnerable lower control arms and cam tabs while offering a smooth surface to slide over obstacles.
CNC cut and formed in the USA, these plates are custom-fit to defend against rocks, stumps, and trail debris. Whether you choose the heavy-duty 3/16" steel or the lightweight 1/4" aluminum, you are investing in premium fit and finish that lasts a lifetime.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory lower control arms are thin, prone to denting, and have exposed "catch points" that can hang you up on rocks or ruin your alignment tabs.
The RCI Solution: A 100% Bolt-On skid plate that creates a flat, "sliding" surface while fully boxing in the cam tabs to maintain your vehicle's alignment in the roughest terrain.
Key Features: RCI A-Arm Armor
Provides total protection for the lower control arms, including front and rear flanges to shield against impacts from any direction.
Specifically designed to protect the cam tabs. A single rock strike to a cam tab can ruin your alignment and cause uneven tire wear.
The smooth, flat bottom allows your vehicle to slide over obstacles that would otherwise catch on the jagged factory suspension parts.
Direct bolt-on addition to existing factory attachment points. Installs in minutes with provided heavy-duty hardware.
Available in rust-resistant Black Powdercoat for maximum durability or Raw Aluminum for those who prefer the metallic look.
Precision engineered, laser cut, and CNC formed right here in the USA by RCI Metalworks.

"Installed these on my new Land Cruiser LC250 before hitting Moab. I took a direct hit on a ledge that would have definitely crushed my lower control arm. Instead, the RCI skid just took a scratch and I slid right over. The piece of mind is worth every penny."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Steel is best for rock crawling where you expect heavy, repeated impacts. Aluminum is 50% lighter and naturally rust-resistant, making it ideal for overlanding, daily driving, and snowy climates where salt is used on roads.
Yes, we offer specific versions for 5th Gen 4Runners and GX460s that are fully compatible with the KDSS system. Please ensure you select the correct vehicle model when ordering.
No drilling is required. These are 100% bolt-on using existing factory mounting points on your lower control arms. Most customers complete the install in under 20 minutes.
On 2010-2024 models, the factory TRD Pro front skid plate is very wide. To fit these A-arm skids, you may need to trim a small corner of the TRD Pro skid plate for clearance during full suspension travel.
No. These are designed specifically for the geometry of the factory Toyota/Lexus lower control arms. They will not fit "Long Travel" or heavy-duty boxed aftermarket arms.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks

Great fast shipping. Robert was great and helpful
Fit and install as advertised
Nice product. Wish the step was flatter. On the large end I drilled and taped two more holes on the outside edge to pull it down better. After that I’m very happy with them.
Nice, quality sliders that are straightforward to install. They look good on the truck and are very functional. That being said, the one negative was the long delays on shipping and delivery, and communication was less than optimal to say the least.
Love the easy install and videos!
High Quality , great fit. Look awesome.
Sliders look and fit great. Pretty simple and straightforward install however, the install video did leave out some key details and extra non-applicable hardware made install slightly confusing.
My new Rock Sliders “Rock!” I love em’ the fitment was perfect and they look awesome on my 4Runner TRD-ORP!
Had a few issues at the beginning with some missing nuts in the package but that was easily rectified with a trip to the hardware store. This thing is built like a tank, and it's been rock solid heavily loaded over some very rough terrain.
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
