Lightweight, Durable Engine Skid Plate for Land Cruiser, 4Runner & Tacoma

Are you worried about the vulnerability of your 2024+ Land Cruiser, 2025+ 4Runner, or 2024+ Tacoma engine while navigating rough terrain? Do you find routine maintenance cumbersome with the factory covers?

The RIVAL Aluminum Engine Skid Plate is specifically designed to address these concerns, providing superior protection and convenient maintenance access.

Why Choose the RIVAL Engine Skid Plate?

Crafted from deep-stamped 1/4-inch aluminum alloy, this skid plate offers a robust, lightweight shield for your vehicle's most critical components. It provides comprehensive coverage for the oil pan and transmission, protecting them from rocks, debris, and other trail hazards, while its corrosion-resistant finish is perfect for harsh environments.

Best of all, maintenance is now a breeze. The plate features dedicated cutouts for easy access to the oil filter and drain plug, allowing for quick oil changes without the hassle of removing the entire plate.

What's Included

  • Aluminum Skid Plate
  • Mounting Brackets
  • All Necessary Fasteners
  • Installation Manual

Attention 4th Gen Tacoma Owners: If your Tacoma is not a TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, or Trailhunter model, this heavy-duty crossmember is required for installation, as non-TRD models lack the necessary factory mounting points.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why is this 1/4" aluminum plate better than the stock cover?

The stock covers on most models are thin plastic or light-gauge steel designed for minor road debris. Our 1/4-inch thick aluminum plate is a serious armor upgrade designed to take direct hits from rocks and obstacles on the trail, protecting critical engine components that the stock cover leaves vulnerable.
+ Do I have to remove the skid plate for an oil change?

No. The skid plate is designed with specific access ports that allow you to reach the oil filter and drain plug without removing the entire plate. We recommend using a funnel during oil changes to ensure a clean process.
+ Will this fit my Tacoma if it's not a TRD or Trailhunter?

Not by itself. Non-TRD/Trailhunter Tacoma models lack the factory-welded front crossmember needed for mounting. You must purchase and install the required heavy-duty crossmember to install this skid plate on those specific trims.
+ Is the installation difficult?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools. The skid plate is a 100% bolt-on design that uses your vehicle's factory mounting points, so no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications are required.

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.
