Description

RCI Offroad Full Skid Plate Package | 2025+ Toyota 4Runner (6th Gen)

Complete Underbody Shielding. 100% Bolt-On.

The First Line of Defense for Your 6th Gen 4Runner

Protect your investment with the RCI Offroad Skid Plate Package, the definitive upgrade for the 2025+ 4Runner. While the new 6th generation platform is incredibly capable, its most expensive drivetrain components—the oil pan, transmission, and transfer case—remain dangerously exposed to jagged rocks and trail debris.

This bundle provides a seamless transition from the front radiator cross-member all the way back to the transfer case. By grouping these three essential plates, you ensure a snag-free underbody that allows your vehicle to glide over obstacles rather than hanging up on them.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Factory "protection" often consists of thin sheet metal or plastic that crumples on the first impact, leading to multi-thousand dollar repair bills for cracked transmission cases or punctured oil pans.
The RCI Solution: We provide heavy-duty 3/16” steel for maximum strength or 1/4” aluminum for weight savings. Both options feature Bolt Protector Rings and Reinforced Edges to ensure your 4Runner remains bulletproof on the trail.

Key Features: Total Underbody Armor

Full Protection Suite

Shields front cross-members, low-hanging differential, oil pan, transmission, and the exhaust cross pipe.

Steel T-Case Crossmember

Even in the aluminum package, the T-case cross-member is 3/16" steel to ensure structural integrity where you need it most.

Bolt Protector Rings

Standard recessed bolt rings shield exposed hardware from physical damage, making future removal easy.

Reinforced Rigidity

Reinforced edges between cross-members provide maximum strength to prevent the plates from bending under load.

Over-Engineered in the USA

We don't cut corners. This package features heavy-duty CNC construction designed specifically for the 6th Gen chassis. All subsections are designed for simple installation and removal, allowing for easy deep maintenance when required.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The fitment on my 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road was spot on. I’ve already taken a few hits on the trail and the plates didn't budge. The fact that I can still do my own oil changes without dropping the whole plate is a massive time saver. RCI is the gold standard for Toyota armor."

- David R., 2025 4Runner Owner

"Ordered the aluminum package to keep the weight down on my daily driver. The finish is beautiful and the hardware is high quality. Install was straightforward with a basic socket set. Best peace of mind you can buy for the new 6th Gen."

- Sarah L., Overlander

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will this fit the Hybrid i-FORCE MAX models?

The Transmission and Transfer-case skid plates are not compatible with Hybrid models due to clearance differences. The Engine skid plate may fit; however, we recommend waiting for the hybrid-specific bundle for a guaranteed fit.

+ Steel vs. Aluminum—which should I choose?

Choose 3/16" Steel if you plan on frequent rock crawling or live in areas with sharp, jagged obstacles. Choose 1/4" Aluminum if you want a rust-proof option that saves nearly 50% in weight (65 lbs vs 128 lbs), helping preserve fuel economy and suspension longevity.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No drilling is required. The RCI package is a direct bolt-on system that uses your 4Runner's existing factory mounting points for a 100% bolt-on assembly.

+ What if my vehicle lacks the front crossmember below the radiator?

The Engine skid plate requires this mounting point. RCI is currently developing a bolt-on crossmember for those rare vehicle configurations that lack it. Contact us for the latest availability on this component.

+ Will this affect my ground clearance?

The skid plates are designed to sit as tight to the chassis as possible. While you may lose a fraction of an inch of absolute clearance, the "glide effect" of the smooth plates prevents you from snagging, which is far more beneficial in off-road scenarios.

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
