Maximum Underbody Armor. 100% Bolt-On Protection. Made in the USA.
Ultimate Defense for the New Generation Tundra & SequoiaThe 2022+ Tundra and 2023+ Sequoia are engineering marvels, but their most expensive components—the front differential, oil pan, and power steering unit—sit dangerously exposed. Whether you're overlanding through the desert or navigating "surprise" deep potholes on the highway, one bad impact can result in a repair bill that dwarfs the cost of armor.
The RCI Offroad Engine Skid Plate is the premier choice for owners who demand absolute peace of mind. Available in 10ga Steel for maximum impact resistance or 1/4" Aluminum for a lightweight, rust-proof shield, this skid plate is designed to handle the toughest trails while maintaining full vehicle functionality.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Modern trucks are built with plastic and thin sheet metal covers that offer zero protection against rocks or debris. Removing them for maintenance is a chore, and they often trap heat.
The RCI Solution: We utilize a heavy-duty, No-Drill design that adds massive strength, includes a dedicated Oil Filter Access Door, and is fully compatible with your truck's electronic actuated lower air dam.
Key Features: Heavy-Duty Engine Armor
No drilling or permanent modifications. Uses existing factory attachment points to ensure your vehicle's resale value remains intact.
Change your oil without dropping the armor. Includes a simple access door secured by just two bolts for rapid maintenance.
Engineered specifically to work seamlessly with the electronic actuated lower air dam found on newer Tundra and Sequoia models.
Features 6 reinforced mounting points for extra durability, distributing impact forces across the frame rather than the engine components.
Mounts directly to the radiator cross-member without interfering with aftermarket bumpers, hidden winches, or light bars.
Flat surface design with no exposed bolt heads allows you to slide over obstacles effortlessly without snagging on hardware.
Over-Engineered in the USAWe believe in providing options that match your driving style. Whether you need a 10ga Steel "Tank" for heavy rock crawling or a 1/4" Aluminum shield for weight-conscious overlanding, we use only premium materials.

"This thing is pretty easy to install but YouTube it before you install it. I got the 1/4 aluminum and this thing is bada$$. I'm not scared to put a jack anywhere under it to jack up my truck. The peace of mind on the trail is worth every penny!"

No, the RCI Engine skid plate is designed to replace the existing factory or TRD skid plates entirely, as it provides significantly more coverage and strength than the TRD aluminum version.
No! One of the best features of RCI skids is the integrated oil filter access door. You simply remove two small bolts to access the filter, saving you the hassle of wrestling with a heavy skid plate every 5,000 miles.
Steel is best for heavy rock crawling where you expect frequent, hard impacts. Aluminum is ideal for daily drivers and overlanders who want protection from potholes and gravel while keeping vehicle weight down to preserve fuel economy and suspension performance.
No. RCI skid plates are designed with airflow in mind. There are strategically placed apertures to allow heat to escape while preventing large debris from entering the engine bay.
No. The RCI Engine Skid Plate for the 22+ Tundra is a 100% No Drill, Bolt-On system. It uses existing threaded holes in the frame for a secure, factory-style fit.

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

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.
