1/4-Inch Deep Stamped Armor. 30% Lighter Than Steel. Rust-Proof Fuel Security.
Maximum Protection for Your Long-Range Fuel SourceThe Land Cruiser 200 and Lexus LX570 are built for the world's harshest environments, but their factory gas tank protection is often the weakest link. The RIVAL 4X4 Aluminum Gas Tank Skid Plate is engineered to provide a high-strength, lightweight shield for your 2007-2021 Toyota or Lexus rig.
Precision laser-cut and deep-stamped from 1/4-inch (6mm) aluminum alloy, this underbody armor offers unbeatable durability without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel. Whether you are overlanding through remote deserts or rock crawling on local trails, RIVAL ensures your fuel supply remains protected from punctures and gouges.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory fuel tank shields are often made of thin sheet metal or plastic that crumples under the weight of a 6,000lb vehicle hitting a rock.
The RIVAL Solution: Our deep-stamped aluminum plate is 30% lighter than steel, completely rust-proof, and uses a 100% bolt-on design to existing factory mounting ports.
Key Features: RIVAL Underbody Armor
Installation is 100% bolt-on. The plate attaches directly to existing factory mounting ports on your LC200 or LX570 chassis.
RIVAL uses a deep-stamping process that creates reinforcing ribs, providing significantly more rigidity than flat-cut aluminum plates.
Hardware is recessed and concealed to prevent bolt heads from being sheared off during heavy off-road contact.
Naturally corrosion-resistant. This plate will never rust, even if the matte metallic silver powder coating gets deeply scratched.
Weighing only 20 lbs, this skid plate provides maximum protection without causing suspension sag or decreasing fuel economy.
Features precision apertures that allow for water and dirt drainage, preventing debris from trapping moisture against your tank.
Superior Engineering for the LC200The Land Cruiser 200 platform is heavy, and every pound matters. RIVAL 4X4 skid plates utilize 1/4-inch 6061-T6 aluminum to balance industrial strength with minimal unsprung weight. Coated in a multi-stage zinc primer and matte metallic silver finish, this armor is built to look as good as it performs.

"The peace of mind this plate gives is worth every penny. On a recent trip to Moab, I came down hard on a ledge right under the fuel tank. The RIVAL skid took the hit, stayed rigid, and protected the tank perfectly. The fact that it doesn't rust like my old steel plates is a massive bonus for anyone living in the salt belt."
- Greg S., Land Cruiser 200 Owner Professional Installation TipClean Your Threads: It is highly recommended to use a thread tap on all vehicle-side mounting ports and bracketry before assembly to ensure the hardware threads in smoothly without cross-threading.

Yes, the RIVAL skid plate is designed to replace the often insufficient factory shield. It mounts directly to the vehicle's chassis to provide a much higher level of protection than the stock part.
No. Aluminum naturally forms its own protective oxide layer. Even if you scratch the plate on a rock in a state that uses road salt, the aluminum itself will not rust or fail structurally like steel would.
The RIVAL skid plate is engineered to be as low-profile as possible. The loss in ground clearance is minimal (approx. 1/4 inch), as it is stamped to hug the contours of the fuel tank while maintaining an air gap for safety.
No. The gas tank skid plate is a permanent addition and does not interfere with routine servicing. RIVAL engine skid plates (sold separately) feature oil and filter change ports, but the gas tank plate stays in place once installed.
Yes. This is a "No Drill" installation designed for basic hand tools. However, due to the weight and size of the plate, having a second person or a floor jack to hold the plate in place during bolting is highly recommended.

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
