Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will these skid plates fit my 4Runner with the KDSS suspension system?

Yes, both the RIVAL Engine Skid Plate and Transmission Skid Plate are designed to be fully compatible with Toyota 4Runner models equipped with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS).
+ Do I have to remove the plate for an oil change?

No. The Engine and Transmission skid plates are engineered with service access ports that allow you to perform routine maintenance, like oil changes, without needing to remove the entire plate.
+ Is any drilling or modification to my vehicle required?

No, all RIVAL 4Runner skid plates are 100% bolt-on products. They are designed to use the existing factory mounting points on your 4Runner's frame, ensuring a simple installation process with no permanent modifications.
+ Do I need to remove the skid plate for an oil change?

Yes, for most services including oil changes, this skid plate will need to be removed. However, its straightforward bolt-on design makes the removal and reinstallation process quick and easy for you or your mechanic.
+ Why is a gas tank skid plate so important for off-roading?

The factory gas tank is often made of plastic and is one of the largest and most vulnerable components on your vehicle's underbelly. A puncture from a sharp rock can not only leave you stranded but also create a serious fire hazard. This skid plate provides essential protection against punctures and impacts.

+ Is aluminum strong enough to protect a fuel tank?

Absolutely. The strength of this 1/4-inch plate comes from its deep-stamped design with reinforcing ribs, which makes it extremely rigid. It's engineered to absorb and distribute impacts effectively, providing robust protection while being significantly lighter than steel.

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

Solid and waterproof tent!

We have been on multiple trips with this tent. Its stable and comfortable with a good space for 2+ person to sleep in. Easy to setup and can be taken down under 10 minutes. The tent is waterproof and windproof and can be used during the winter season. Its worth the money and we are overall satisfied with our tent.

Love it!

Looks great and very easy to install. Fits perfectly with no cutting on my Colorado 5 1/2 ft bed. As I unfolded the cover for the first time and each panel locked in place perfectly, I thought, Wow, that was easy.
