2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Lexus GX 460
The RCI Offroad Rear Shock Mount Skid Plates protect the low-hanging rear shock mounts on 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, and Lexus GX 460. When rock crawling or traversing rough terrain, exposed shock mounts are vulnerable to impact damage—these plates absorb hits that would otherwise bend or break suspension components.
Shock Mount Protection for Serious Terrain
Rear shock mounts sit close to the frame on newer 4Runner models and can make contact with rocks, logs, and uneven ground during off-road driving. These skid plates deflect impacts before they reach your suspension.
- Pair Configuration: Includes driver and passenger side plates for complete rear suspension coverage.
- Powdercoat Finish: Heavy-duty black powdercoat protects bare metal from rust and UV degradation in harsh off-road conditions.
- Hardware Included: All fasteners and mounting hardware are included—no supplemental purchases required for installation.
- Made in USA: Manufactured in the United States with domestic quality control.
- Suspension Compatibility Note: May not be compatible with all aftermarket rear suspension brands. Confirm fitment with your specific suspension setup before purchase.

Do all 4Runners have skid plates?
?
No. Stock 2010–2024 4Runners do not include rear shock mount skid plates from the factory. Toyota equips some TRD Off-Road trims with partial skid plate protection, but aftermarket shock mount plates like these RCI units provide dedicated rear suspension protection not included as OEM equipment on any 4Runner model year.
Does 4Runner TRD Off-Road have skid plates?
TRD Off-Road 4Runners include some factory skid plate coverage, but protection is limited. Rear shock mounts remain exposed on OEM configurations. RCI's shock mount plates add targeted protection to a vulnerable area that factory skid plates do not fully cover.
Are skid plates necessary?
It depends on your driving. For stock or mild off-road use on maintained trails, factory underbody protection may suffice. For rock crawling, technical terrain, or aggressive four-wheeling where shock contact is likely, skid plates are essential to prevent suspension damage that can strand you on the trail or cost thousands in repairs.
How to install TRD skid plate 4Runner
Installation method depends on the specific skid plate model. RCI plates include all necessary hardware and mount to existing frame points. Refer to the product installation guide for step-by-step instructions, or consult a Toyota-equipped shop if you are unfamiliar with suspension component mounting. Typical installation takes 1–2 hours with basic tools.
What is the purpose of a skid plate?
Skid plates protect vulnerable undercarriage components—fuel tanks, transfer cases, shock mounts, and suspension components—from rock strikes, logs, and rough terrain. They absorb impact energy and deflect obstacles, preventing punctures, dents, bends, and mechanical damage that would otherwise disable your vehicle or require expensive repairs.

Bolted right on and fit perfectly. Support even confirmed fitment before I ordered.
Finally a shop that actually knows Toyotas. No guesswork, no wrong parts.
Fast shipping and the install guide made it a one-evening job. Stoked.
