American-Made Armor. Direct Bolt-On Protection. The Ultimate Defense Against Punctures.
Bulletproof Protection for Your Fuel SystemFrom catching on a jagged rock to hitting a surprisingly deep pothole, underbody damage is one of the costliest mistakes you can make on the trail. Your fuel tank is one of the most vulnerable components on your vehicle—protect your investment with RCI Offroad Fuel Tank Skid Plates.
Whether you have the 2007-2021 Tundra or 2008-2022 Sequoia, these skids provide the ultimate defense for all on and off-road hazards. Precision engineered and Made in the USA, RCI skids are substantially sturdier than factory options and provide significantly more coverage.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: OEM fuel tank plates are often plastic or thin-gauge metal that folds under pressure, leading to expensive punctures and being stranded in the wilderness.
The RCI Solution: We use 10ga or 12ga heavy-duty steel and a smooth, flat surface design to ensure you slide over obstacles rather than getting hung up or punctured.
Key Features: Heavy Duty Armor
Constructed from premium 10ga or 12ga steel. Far tougher than OEM and designed to take the brunt of heavy impacts.
Installs in minutes using factory mounting locations. No drilling required for most models—just a simple, sturdy upgrade.
Standard on 26gal and 38gal models. Welded rings protect bolt heads from being sheared off by rocks.
Includes a heavy-duty black powder coating for a durable, high-quality finish that stands up to salt and mud.
The smooth, flat surface is designed to help your vehicle slide over obstacles without catching on the fuel tank.
CNC cut and bent to perfectly match the curvature of your Tundra or Sequoia's fuel tank for maximum clearance.
Built for the Toughest TrailsRCI skids are the ultimate defense for all on and off-road hazards. Whether you have a 26 or massive 38-gallon tank, we have a solution that fits perfectly. These plates are engineered to be the best value for the money, providing professional-grade protection without a difficult installation.
10/12ga Steel Thickness 32-49 lbs Heavy Duty Weight USA Manufactured In Black Powder Coat Finish
"Installed the 38-gallon skid on my 2019 Tundra. The fit was perfect. I've already dragged it over several rocks in Moab, and besides a few scratches in the powder coat, it's held up perfectly. Much better than the plastic junk Toyota provides from the factory."
- Mike S., Tundra TRD Off-Road Owner"Simple install on my 2022 Sequoia. I did have to buy the fuel tank straps since mine didn't come with the factory skid, but RCI made the process easy. Peace of mind when I'm out on the trails."

All Sequoias use the 26gal option.Pro Tip: Check your fuel tank size before ordering to ensure a perfect fit.

Yes, if your vehicle is not a TRD Off-Road or TRD Pro model, it likely does not have the studded straps required to mount a skid plate. You will need to select the strap option for your specific tank size to complete the installation.
For most models, this is a 100% bolt-on installation. However, on some Tundra trims/years, Toyota has removed one of the mounting locations above the drive shaft. In these specific cases, a self-tapping bolt (included) may be necessary.
10-gauge steel is slightly thicker (~0.134") than 12-gauge (~0.104"). We utilize 10ga for our 26gal and 22gal plates and 12ga for the 38gal and 32gal plates to balance maximum protection with weight management across the different surface areas.
All RCI steel skids come with a heavy-duty black powder coat. While this provides excellent rust resistance, we recommend rinsing your underbody after exposure to road salt to maintain the finish and prevent long-term corrosion.
No. The fuel tank skid plate is designed to stay in place. It does not interfere with standard oil changes or other routine maintenance items on your Tundra or Sequoia.

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
