2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner, GX 460, FJ Cruiser
The RCI Offroad Engine Skid Plate protects the front underbody of your 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner, GX 460, and FJ Cruiser from rock strikes, deep potholes, and trail hazards that can damage your oil pan, differential, and frame crossmembers. Built from CNC laser-cut steel or aluminum with reinforced edges and factory-style service openings, this skid plate offers proven underbody protection without requiring removal for routine maintenance.
Underbody Protection Where It Matters Most
Your 4Runner's front differential and oil pan hang low and are completely exposed to trail debris, rocks, and unexpected terrain. RCI's engine skid plate intercepts impacts before they reach critical components, eliminating costly repair bills and keeping you on the trail longer.
- Material Options: Choose CNC laser-cut 3/16″ steel or 1/4″ aluminum—both custom fit and built to exact engine bay geometry.
- Coverage: Protects both front crossmembers, the low-hanging front differential, and the oil pan from direct impact.
- Service-Friendly Design: Integrated service openings allow oil changes and routine maintenance without plate removal.
- Reinforced Construction: Edge reinforcement resists deformation from repeated rock contact and absorbs trail impacts.
- CNC Precision Fit: Laser-cut to OE tolerances—no trimming, no drilling, bolt directly to frame.

No. Most stock 4Runners come with minimal underbody protection, leaving the oil pan and front differential exposed. Aftermarket skid plates like RCI's add comprehensive coverage that the factory does not provide standard.
