Description

RCI Offroad Complete Skid Plate Package | 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner

Ultimate Underbody Defense. 100% Bolt-On Protection.

The "Must-Have" Upgrade for the 5th Gen 4Runner

Protect 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.

RCI Offroad Complete Skid Plate Package for 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner
Key Features: Total Vehicle Protection

No Drilling Required

The RCI package is a direct bolt-on addition to existing factory attachment points. No permanent vehicle modifications are required.

Service-Ready Design

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.

Bolt Protector Rings

Recessed rings surround exposed bolt heads, shielding them from being sheared off or damaged when sliding over sharp rocks.

Snag-Free Bottom

The smooth, flat surface allows your 4Runner to easily slide over obstacles rather than hanging up on cross-members or suspension components.

Differential Drop Cage

Includes a unique differential drop cage for maximum security and ground clearance, fully compatible with diff drop kits.

Reinforced Edges

Features reinforced edges between cross-members to provide maximum strength and rigidity against heavy impacts.

Built for the Toughest Trails

Whether 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.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"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."

- Mark T., 4Runner Owner & Trail Enthusiast

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Should I choose Steel or Aluminum?

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.

+ Does the Aluminum package include Steel parts?

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.

+ Is the package compatible with KDSS?

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.

+ Do I need to remove the plates for an oil change?

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.

+ Is drilling required?

No. The entire RCI skid plate package is 100% bolt-on and utilizes existing factory mounting points on your 4Runner's frame.

Prop 65

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
