A 3-piece system shields your engine, transmission, and transfer case from trail hazards.
Installs directly to factory mounting points with no drilling, protecting your Tacoma's warranty.
1/4" aluminum is strong yet light, preserving fuel economy and handling without the risk of rust.
Deep-stamped ribs provide superior strength and rigidity compared to basic flat metal plates.
Every 2024+ Toyota Tacoma owner knows the reality: you've invested in the world's most capable mid-size pickup, but one wrong encounter with a rock, stump, or trail debris can leave you with thousands in repair costs. Factory plastic shields offer minimal protection, leaving your oil pan and other critical components vulnerable to catastrophic damage that can end your adventure instantly.
Deep-Stamped Engineering Excellence creates integrated stiffening ribs and complex geometry that dramatically increases strength and impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight. This isn't just protection—it's engineered armor that transforms your Tacoma into the unstoppable machine it was meant to be.
Complete Transmission Shielding
The RIVAL Full Underbody Armor System eliminates every vulnerability with surgical precision. Engineered through rigorous testing, this premium aluminum protection system delivers the perfect balance of strength and weight that discerning Tacoma owners demand.
Transfer Case Armor
Whether you're navigating rocky mountain trails, crossing desert washes, or tackling muddy forest roads, this complete protection system adapts to your adventure lifestyle without compromise. The transfer case armor protects the critical heart of your 4WD system from impacts that could leave you stranded.

For a mid-size truck like the Tacoma, minimizing weight is critical to preserving factory handling, acceleration, and fuel economy. Our aluminum plates provide exceptional strength at a fraction of the weight of steel. Plus, aluminum is naturally corrosion-proof and will never rust, even after deep scratches from rocks.
The RIVAL system offers a significant upgrade in both material thickness and coverage. Our plates are made from 1/4-inch (6mm) aluminum, which is substantially thicker and stronger than the standard TRD plate. Furthermore, our 3-piece system provides comprehensive protection for the engine, transmission, and transfer case, covering far more of the vulnerable undercarriage than the single factory plate.
Not by itself. The non-TRD/Pro/Trailhunter Tacoma models lack the necessary factory-welded front crossmember for mounting the engine skid plate. You must purchase and install the required heavy-duty crossmember to complete the installation on those specific trims.
The new generation of Tacoma Hybrid trucks has a different undercarriage layout due to the placement of hybrid system components. A different transmission skid plate is engineered to fit those specific contours and mounting points, which differ from the non-hybrid versions.
No. The skid plates are designed with specific access ports that allow you to reach the oil filter, drain plugs, and other service points without removing the entire plate, simplifying routine maintenance.
No. The RIVAL system is engineered with strategically placed ventilation slots and drainage holes. These features ensure that critical components receive proper airflow for cooling, just like the factory setup, while also allowing water, mud, and debris to escape.

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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
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

Great fast shipping. Robert was great and helpful
Fit and install as advertised
Nice product. Wish the step was flatter. On the large end I drilled and taped two more holes on the outside edge to pull it down better. After that I’m very happy with them.
Nice, quality sliders that are straightforward to install. They look good on the truck and are very functional. That being said, the one negative was the long delays on shipping and delivery, and communication was less than optimal to say the least.
Love the easy install and videos!
High Quality , great fit. Look awesome.
Sliders look and fit great. Pretty simple and straightforward install however, the install video did leave out some key details and extra non-applicable hardware made install slightly confusing.
My new Rock Sliders “Rock!” I love em’ the fitment was perfect and they look awesome on my 4Runner TRD-ORP!
Had a few issues at the beginning with some missing nuts in the package but that was easily rectified with a trip to the hardware store. This thing is built like a tank, and it's been rock solid heavily loaded over some very rough terrain.
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.
