A comprehensive 3-piece bundle shielding your engine, transmission, and transfer case from the most extreme trail hazards.
Precision-engineered to utilize existing factory mounting points, ensuring a secure, no-drill installation in your driveway.
Features integrated service ports that allow you to change your oil and perform routine maintenance without removing the plates.
Equipped with proprietary bolt protector rings that shield exposed hardware from being sheared off or damaged by jagged rocks.
Ultimate Underbody Defense. 100% Bolt-On Protection.
The "Must-Have" Upgrade for the 5th Gen 4RunnerProtect your investment with the RCI Offroad Skid Plate Package, the ultimate defense against all on and off-road hazards. This complete system provides maximum coverage, shielding the engine, front differential, oil pan, transmission, transfer case, and vital cross-members from costly damage.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, these plates are a massive upgrade over the flimsy, "light-duty" OEM sheet metal. Precision CNC laser-cut and brake-formed, this package is custom-fit for 2010-2024 4Runners, ensuring premium quality, fit, and finish.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory skids are thin, often leaving the transmission and transfer case completely exposed. A single rock strike can result in a $5,000 transmission repair or a punctured oil pan.
The RCI Solution: We offer a Total Armor System in your choice of heavy-duty 3/16” steel or 1/4” aluminum. Our design includes Bolt Protector Rings and Oil Drain Ports, so you get bulletproof protection without sacrificing maintenance ease.
Key Features: Total Vehicle Protection
The RCI package is a direct bolt-on addition to existing factory attachment points. No permanent vehicle modifications are required.
Built-in oil drain holes allow for easy oil changes without the need to remove the engine skid plate every time you service the truck.
Recessed rings surround exposed bolt heads, shielding them from being sheared off or damaged when sliding over sharp rocks.
The smooth, flat surface allows your 4Runner to easily slide over obstacles rather than hanging up on cross-members or suspension components.
Includes a unique differential drop cage for maximum security and ground clearance, fully compatible with diff drop kits.
Features reinforced edges between cross-members to provide maximum strength and rigidity against heavy impacts.
Built for the Toughest TrailsWhether you choose the brute strength of 3/16” Steel or the weight-saving advantages of 1/4” Aluminum, you are getting the industry's strongest transmission and transfer case protection. All transfer-case cross-members are made of 3/16" steel even in aluminum options to ensure structural integrity.

"The cheap plastic and thin metal 'skids' from Toyota are a joke. I installed the full RCI steel package on my TRD Off-Road 4Runner and the peace of mind is incredible. The fitment was spot on, and I've already dragged them over rocks in Moab that would have crushed my oil pan. Plus, the oil change access port works perfectly."

3/16" Steel is best for dedicated rock crawling and frequent heavy impacts; it is extremely tough but heavier (118 lbs). 1/4" Aluminum is preferred for overlanders and daily drivers who want high strength at roughly half the weight (68 lbs) with superior rust resistance.
Yes. Even in the aluminum package, all Transfer-case cross-members are made of 3/16" black powder-coated steel. This is essential for structural integrity, as these pieces take the brunt of the vehicle's weight on obstacles.
Yes. We offer specific versions for KDSS Equipped 4Runners. Please ensure you select the "KDSS Equipped" option when ordering to ensure the correct engine skid plate fitment for your hydraulic sway bar system.
No. The RCI engine skid plate features built-in oil drain holes that allow you to change your oil without removing the plate, making routine maintenance quick and easy.

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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
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

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!
