    Frequently Asked Questions

    + What does a "TRD Connection" skid plate do?

    It's designed to bridge the exposed gap between the back of your factory TRD front skid plate and the vehicle's cross-member. This protects the vulnerable area that the stock TRD plate leaves open to impacts from rocks and trail obstacles.

    + Do I need the factory TRD front skid plate to install this?

    Yes. This skid plate is specifically engineered to "connect" to the factory Toyota TRD front skid plate. It is not a standalone replacement and requires the TRD plate to be installed first.

    + Is aluminum strong enough for the 4Runner?

    Absolutely. This 1/4-inch aluminum plate is significantly thicker and more durable than the unprotected area it covers. Its deep-stamped design provides excellent rigidity and impact resistance while being lightweight and completely rust-proof.

    + Is any drilling or permanent modification required for installation?

    No. The RIVAL skid plate is engineered for a 100% bolt-on installation using your 4Runner's existing factory mounting points. All necessary hardware is included, and no drilling or cutting is needed.

    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
