Description

RCI Offroad Fuel Tank Skid Plate | 2024-Present Land Cruiser (LC250)

American Made. Bolt-On Protection. Heavy-Duty Puncture Resistance.

Ultimate Underbody Armor for the New LC250

Protect the most vulnerable component of your 2024+ Land Cruiser with the RCI Offroad Fuel Tank Skid Plate. While the new LC250 is built for adventure, the factory fuel tank protection often falls short when facing jagged rocks and high-centering obstacles.

Engineered and Manufactured in the USA, this skid plate is laser-cut and CNC-formed to provide a precision fit and finish. Whether you choose the indestructible 3/16" steel or the lightweight 1/4" aluminum, you are investing in peace of mind for your next overland expedition.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: The factory fuel tank support is thin and prone to punctures. A single sharp rock can leave you stranded with a leaking tank and a $2,000+ repair bill.
The RCI Solution: Our skid plate provides a completely smooth, flat surface that allows your Land Cruiser to slide over obstacles while offering maximum impact resistance.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"Just installed the RCI fuel tank skid on my 2024 Land Cruiser 1958 Edition. The fitment is perfect—it literally took me 20 minutes with basic hand tools. Seeing how thin the factory 'protection' was, I feel much better hitting the trails now. It’s a tank of a plate."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Should I choose Steel or Aluminum?

Steel is best for rock crawling where frequent heavy impacts are expected, as it is nearly indestructible. Aluminum is ideal for overlanders looking to save weight (approx. 50% lighter) while still providing excellent puncture resistance and natural corrosion resistance.

+ Is any drilling required for installation?

No. This skid plate is a 100% bolt-on addition. It uses the existing factory mounting points on your Land Cruiser LC250, making it easy to install in your driveway with basic tools.

+ Does this fit the Land Cruiser 1958 model?

Yes, fitment has been confirmed for the 1958 model. We suspect it fits all LC250 models as they share the same fuel tank and chassis architecture.

+ How long does the installation take?

Most owners report an installation time of 15 to 30 minutes. Since it uses existing mounting hardware locations, it is one of the easiest armor upgrades you can do.

+ Does the skid plate interfere with maintenance?

No. The fuel tank skid plate is designed to stay in place. It does not interfere with standard maintenance items like oil changes or tire rotations.

California Residents

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
