Provides uncompromised defense for vulnerable lower control arms and critical alignment cam tabs against heavy rock strikes and trail stumps.
Precision CNC-cut for a perfect fit, utilizing existing factory mounting points for a hassle-free, no-drill installation in minutes.
Engineered with a smooth, flat-bottom design and dual flanges that allow your vehicle to slide effortlessly over hazards rather than getting hung up.
Available in 3/16" steel for extreme impact resistance or 1/4" 5052 aluminum for maximum protection with a 50% weight reduction.
LCA & Cam Tab Protection. 100% Bolt-On. Smooth Obstacle Navigation.
Essential Suspension Armor for the New Toyota PlatformProtect your investment from the ground up with the RCI Offroad A-Arm Skid Plates. Specifically engineered for the 2024+ Land Cruiser (LC250) and the 2025+ 4Runner, these plates provide a bulletproof shield for your front lower control arms—some of the most exposed components on your vehicle.
Manufactured in the USA, these skid plates offer uncompromised protection of the vulnerable LCAs and cam tabs, ensuring your alignment stays true after a day on the trail. With a smooth surface design, your truck will slide over obstacles that would otherwise catch and damage factory suspension parts.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: The lower control arms (LCAs) on the LC250 and 6th Gen 4Runner sit low, making them prime targets for rocks. A single strike can bend an arm or flatten a cam tab, leading to a $1,500+ repair bill and permanent alignment issues.
The RCI Solution: Our skid plates wrap the LCA in 3/16" Steel or 1/4" Aluminum, protecting both the front and rear flanges while creating a flat "sled" surface to maintain forward momentum over rocks.
Key Features: Heavy-Duty LCA Defense
Shields the fragile cam tabs that set your alignment. Prevents them from being bent or flattened during heavy off-road impacts.
Includes both front and rear flanges, offering complete 360-degree protection for the leading and trailing edges of your control arms.
Utilizes a 100% bolt-on assembly using factory attachment points. No permanent vehicle modification required.
CNC laser cut and formed in the USA, ensuring premium quality, fit, and finish for your high-end Toyota off-roader.
The smooth, flat bottom design reduces hang-ups, allowing you to slide over obstacles effortlessly.
Choose between raw aluminum or a textured black powder coat for ultimate rust and corrosion resistance.
Over-Engineered for the TrailWhether you choose the lightweight 1/4" Aluminum for weight savings or the 3/16" Steel for maximum rock-bashing strength, RCI Offroad provides a custom-fit solution. These plates are designed to handle the weight of the Land Cruiser and 4Runner while maintaining critical ground clearance.
10-20 lbs Total Weight (Pair) 3/16" / 1/4" Gauge Thickness 100% Bolt-On Design USA Manufactured
"The lower control arms on the new Land Cruiser look like targets for every rock on the trail. These RCI plates took about 20 minutes to bolt on and fit perfectly. I already took a hard hit on a stump that would have definitely bent the LCA flange. The powder coat is holding up great!"

3/16" Steel is recommended for rock crawling where the plate will see constant abuse. 1/4" Aluminum is the most popular choice as it offers heavy-duty protection with zero rust and 50% less weight, perfect for overland builds.
No. In fact, they protect your alignment by shielding the cam tabs. Your technician can still access the necessary bolts for an alignment, though most owners install these after their final lift/alignment.
Yes. These skid plates attach directly to the factory lower control arms and are compatible with most standard suspension lifts that utilize the stock LCA mounting geometry.
Most users report an installation time of 15-30 minutes for both sides. It is a simple bolt-on project that can be done in a driveway with basic hand tools.
Raw Aluminum will not rust but will oxidize (dull) over time. Black Powder Coat provides a durable, professional finish that matches your vehicle's frame and adds an extra layer of protection against road salt and debris.

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

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

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.
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!
