RCI Offroad Rear Differential Skid Plate | Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023)

The RCI Offroad Rear Differential Skid Plate is engineered protection for the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma 3rd generation, shielding your low-hanging rear differential from rock strikes, ruts, and debris without sacrificing ground clearance or requiring drilling.

Protect Your Differential in Minutes—No Drill Required

Your Tacoma's rear differential is exposed on the trail. This skid plate clamps directly to the axle housing to defend it while staying tight to the housing profile, preserving the minimal ground clearance you've already got.

• Direct Clamp Design: Bolts to existing factory axle attachment points—no drilling, no welding, no fabrication required.
• Minimal Clearance Loss: Sits within 1/4″ of the differential housing to maintain the ground clearance your Tacoma needs on technical terrain.
• Black Powder Coat Finish: Rust-resistant, durable coating rated for off-road exposure and repeated water crossings.
• Functional Drain Access: Incorporates drain holes and full clearance to the differential drain plug—you can service your diff without removing the skid plate.
• Water and Dirt Escape: Drain holes let mud and water shed naturally, preventing buildup around the differential housing.
