1/4-Inch Deep-Stamped Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Professional Grade Underbody Armor.
Bulletproof Defense for the King of Off-RoadThe Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series and Lexus LX570 are legends of durability, but their factory underbody protection is the weak link in an otherwise indestructible chain. The RIVAL Premium Aluminum Engine Skid Plate provides the robust, lightweight defense your V8 powerplant deserves.
Engineered from deep-stamped 1/4-inch (6mm) aluminum alloy, this plate shields your critical oil pan and engine components from jagged rocks, stumps, and debris. It offers the heavy-duty protection required for overlanding and technical trails without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel plates.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Standard factory splash guards are made of thin metal or plastic that crumples under pressure. For a heavy vehicle like the LC200, a single rock strike to the engine block can result in a total loss of the vehicle in remote areas.
The RIVAL Solution: We provide a 100% Bolt-On armor system reinforced with stiffening ribs. At just 26 lbs, it defelcts heavy impacts while maintaining your vehicle's center of gravity and suspension performance.
Key Features: RIVAL Underbody Armor
Direct bolt-on design that utilizes factory mounting points. Install it in your driveway in about 20 minutes with basic hand tools—no vehicle modifications required.
Save up to 30% on weight over steel. At only 26 lbs, you get maximum protection without over-taxing your front suspension or affecting handling.
Reinforcing ribs are stamped directly into the plate, providing structural rigidity and impact resistance that flat plates simply can't match.
Marine-grade aluminum alloy finished with a multi-stage powder coat over zinc primer. It will not rust, even in salt-heavy or humid coastal environments.
Installation hardware is recessed to prevent bolt heads from being sheared off when sliding over technical obstacles.
Strategic ventilation slots ensure your V8 engine maintains optimal airflow and operating temperatures during slow trail crawls.
Integrated drainage apertures prevent the build-up of mud, water, and debris against your engine and sensors.
Includes precisely positioned service ports for oil filter and drain plug access, allowing for easy maintenance without removing the armor.
Engineered for the 200-Series PlatformRIVAL skid plates are more than just a piece of metal; they are high-performance upgrades for the serious overlander. Using marine-grade 5052 aluminum, these plates offer the ideal balance of flexibility to absorb energy and rigidity to protect components. The low-profile design ensures your Land Cruiser retains its legendary off-road geometry.

"The fitment on my LX570 was flawless. Everything lined up perfectly with the factory holes. It’s light enough that I could install it myself, but it feels incredibly stout. I've already high-centered on a few shelf roads in Colorado and this plate just has surface scratches—no dents. Peace of mind achieved."

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

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
