Frequently Asked Questions

+ 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.
+ Will this fit my Lexus GX460?

No, this skid plate is specifically designed for the 2003-2009 Lexus GX470. It will not fit the newer GX460 models, as the frame and mounting points are different.
+ 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.
+ Is any drilling or permanent modification required for installation?

No. The RIVAL skid plate is engineered for a 100% bolt-on installation using your vehicle's existing factory mounting points. All necessary hardware is included, and no drilling or cutting is needed.

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.
