Complete Underbody Armor. American Made. No-Drill Bolt-On Protection.
The Ultimate Defense for Your Lexus GX460The RCI Offroad Skid Plate Package is the definitive solution for protecting your 2010-2024 Lexus GX460 from costly underbody damage. While the GX460 is a luxury beast off-road, its factory protection is notoriously "light duty," leaving vital components like your oil pan, transmission, and transfer case vulnerable to jagged rocks and trail debris.
Precision-engineered and Made in the USA, this package provides a smooth, flat surface that allows your vehicle to slide over obstacles that would otherwise leave you stranded. Whether you're building a GXOR rig or just want peace of mind on forest roads, RCI has you covered.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: OEM "skid plates" are often thin stamped tin that folds under the weight of the vehicle, leading to punctured oil pans or cracked transmission housings.
The RCI Solution: We use 3/16" Steel or 1/4" Aluminum with reinforced edges and bolt protector rings to ensure your drivetrain stays showroom-fresh, no matter the terrain.
Key Features: RCI Armor System
Includes Engine, Transmission, and Transfer-Case skids. Protects the differential, oil pan, and exhaust cross-pipe from impact.
Built-in oil drain holes mean you can perform routine maintenance without ever removing the plates. Practicality meets protection.
Direct bolt-on to factory attachment points. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modification to your Lexus chassis required.
Recessed mounting hardware is shielded by steel rings, preventing bolt heads from being sheared off or rounded by rocks.
Specifically designed to clear the Lexus Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) components without interference.
Engine skid features a built-in differential drop cage, allowing for lift kits without needing additional spacers.
Reinforced edges between cross-members provide maximum strength, ensuring the plates don't flex into the components they protect.
CNC laser cut and precision bent in RCI's Colorado facility. Premium fit and finish you can trust.
Heavy Duty Materials & Weight SpecsChoose the protection level that fits your driving style. 3/16" Steel offers the highest impact resistance for rock crawling, while 1/4" Aluminum provides incredible strength at nearly half the weight—perfect for overlanders watching their GVWR.

"The peace of mind this RCI kit gives me is worth every penny. I hit a hidden rock on a muddy trail last weekend—the skid plate took a nice gouge, but my oil pan didn't even see it. Install was straightforward on my GX460 with KDSS. Highly recommend the aluminum for weight savings!"
- Mark S., 2021 GX460 Owner Fitment Warning for GX460 OwnersTransmission Selection: For proper fitment on the Lexus GX460, you MUST select the "4.7L / 4.6L V8 Motor" transmission model option during checkout to ensure the plate clears your specific drivetrain.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Choose Steel if you plan on frequent rock crawling where the plate will take heavy, direct impacts. Choose Aluminum if you want to protect against "accidental" trail hits, save 50 lbs of weight, and avoid rust in salty coastal or winter environments.
Yes. You must select the "KDSS Equipped" model option. RCI designs these plates with specific offsets to clear the larger KDSS sway bars and hydraulic components found on Lexus GX460s.
No. These are a 100% bolt-on addition using existing factory mounting points on the frame. If your vehicle is older, we recommend cleaning out the threaded holes in the frame before installation.
Absolutely. RCI includes laser-cut access holes for the oil filter and drain plug. You do not need to drop the engine skid plate for routine maintenance.
Steel plates come standard with a heavy-duty black epoxy powder coat. Aluminum plates can be ordered in Raw Metal or with the Black Powder Coat option for added durability and aesthetics.

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.

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

I installed this on my M1102A trailer for organizing my camping gear and mounting my RTT and awning. It was a really easy install and was rock solid containing my gear down rugged dirt roads and washes last week. The sliding rear load bar was great for loading the motorcycles.

I’ve had the full-length rack on my Grenadier for about a year, and it has performed flawlessly. Not only is the design simple and aesthetically pleasing, it is highly practical for carrying any load. I consistently have over 400 lbs mounted on my rack at all times, and even through multiple trips through the washboards of Death Valley at 45 mph, the rack has remained steady and strong, with not one fastener coming loose. I’d buy this rack ten times before I’d consider another brand.
Limited space in bed. Now all my gear sits in the rack above. Made all the difference in what I can fit in this truck!!
needed something low profile but strong. This platform hit it out of the park. Put it on my ARE topper and couldn’t be happier! Assembly instructions could be clearer in showing top versus bottom, but got it together easy enough. Need to show the need for squaring up before mounting. Overall break pleased
I'm happy with my new racks, it's perfect for that I want.
We are very happy the rack fits the painted roof of our ‘25 Bronco Heritage. Leitner right now might be the only company that makes a rack that fits the painted roof. Typical great Leitner attention to detail
