1/4-Inch Deep-Stamped Alloy. 100% No-Drill Installation. Maximum Ground Clearance.
The Ultimate Defense for Your Tacoma's Fuel SystemProtect your 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma’s underbody with the RIVAL Premium Gas Tank Skid Plate. Engineered from 1/4-inch deep-stamped aluminum alloy, this armor offers unbeatable strength while remaining significantly lighter than steel alternatives.
Modern fuel tanks are often made of high-density plastic, making them vulnerable to punctures on the trail. RIVAL provides a high-performance shield that allows you to slide over obstacles with confidence, ensuring you don't get stranded with a fuel leak in the backcountry.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: A punctured gas tank is an expensive, dangerous, and trail-ending disaster that can cost thousands in repairs and environmental cleanup.
The RIVAL Solution: We provide a Marine-Grade Aluminum shield with reinforcing ribs that absorbs massive impacts and disperses the load across factory mounting points.
Key Features: RIVAL Gas Tank Armor
Designed specifically for the 4th Gen Tacoma frame, this plate uses 100% factory mounting ports for a perfect fit every time.
Hardware is recessed and concealed to prevent bolt heads from being sheared off when sliding over technical rock sections.
Strategic reinforcing ribs are stamped into the alloy, providing maximum structural rigidity without adding unnecessary thickness.
Includes specialized ports for water and dirt drainage, preventing the buildup of mud and heavy debris between the tank and the plate.
Marine-grade aluminum is naturally rust-resistant. Combined with a Zinc primer and silver powder coat, it's built for the harshest environments.
Form-fitted to the Tacoma's gas tank to maintain maximum ground clearance and approach/departure angles.
Precision Engineering for the Gen 4 TacomaThe RIVAL 4th Gen Tacoma Gas Tank plate is designed to work in harmony with your vehicle's existing suspension and chassis components. The deep-stamping process allows for a "wraparound" fit that protects the sides of the tank as well as the bottom.
1/4" Aluminum Thickness 30% Lighter than Steel Bolt-On Installation Style Marine Grade Alloy
"Installed the RIVAL gas tank plate on my 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. The fit was perfect. It’s light enough that I didn't see any MPG drop, but it's thick enough that I don't wince every time I hear a rock hit the undercarriage now. Highly recommend for any Gen 4 owner."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
No. This skid plate is precision-engineered specifically for the 4th Generation (2024+) Tacoma. The frame and gas tank geometry changed significantly between generations.
No drilling or cutting is required. This is a 100% bolt-on system that uses existing factory mounting ports on the vehicle's frame.
No. Because it is made from high-grade aluminum alloy, it is naturally corrosion-resistant. Even if the powder coating is scratched or gouged during off-roading, the exposed metal will not rust like steel.
RIVAL skid plates are typically designed to be modular. Since this is for the gas tank, it usually does not interfere with engine or transmission plates from other manufacturers, provided they follow factory mounting locations.
Very little. We recommend periodically checking the torque on the mounting bolts and rinsing out any trapped mud or salt through the drainage ports after a trail run or winter driving.

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
