2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner
The RCI Offroad Washer Fluid Reservoir Skid Plate protects the windshield washer fluid reservoir on 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner (4th and 5th generation) models after installing a high-clearance front bumper, Pike bumper with Pike Wings, or performing a "Viper Cut" on an OEM bumper. This reservoir sits low and becomes exposed to rocks, roots, and trail obstacles when bumper height increases—this skid plate shields it from damage that would otherwise require costly replacement.
Engineered Protection for Modified 4Runner Front Ends
When you upgrade your 4Runner's front bumper for clearance or off-road capability, the OEM washer fluid reservoir drops into the line of fire. This skid plate repositions protection to keep your reservoir intact on technical terrain.
- Heavy-duty black powdercoat finish: Rust and corrosion resistance rated for trail exposure and weather cycling.
- Complete hardware included: All fasteners and brackets supplied—no additional parts required for installation.
- Designed for bumper modifications: Engineered specifically for vehicles running high-clearance, Pike, or Viper-cut bumper setups where reservoir exposure becomes a vulnerability.
- Made in USA: Manufactured domestically with welded steel construction for durability and repairability.
- Direct bolt-on fit: Refer to the installation guide for exact mounting points and any trimming or clearance work required on your specific configuration.

Do all 4Runners have skid plates?
?
No. Only certain 4Runner models and trim levels come with factory skid plates. Many 4Runners, especially older 4th-gen models (2010–2013) and base 5th-gen models (2014–2024), do not include OEM protection for the washer fluid reservoir. When you modify the front bumper, that reservoir becomes even more exposed.
Does 4Runner TRD Off Road have skid plates?
The TRD Off Road trim includes some factory underbody protection, but not all components are protected equally. The windshield washer fluid reservoir may still be vulnerable, particularly if you install a high-clearance or aftermarket bumper. Verify your specific year and configuration with the installation guide.
Are skid plates necessary?
Skid plates are necessary if you run your 4Runner off-road on rocky or rooty terrain and have exposed vulnerable components like the washer fluid reservoir. Without protection, a sharp rock or root can rupture the reservoir, leading to loss of washer fluid and a repair bill. They're insurance against damage, not optional cosmetics.
How to install TRD skid plate 4Runner?
The RCI Offroad washer fluid reservoir skid plate includes all hardware and comes with a detailed installation guide (PDF download available on the product page). Installation involves bolting the plate to the frame or bumper mounting points; refer to the guide for exact step-by-step instructions, torque specs, and any trimming or clearance work required on your specific 4Runner year and bumper setup.
What is the purpose of skid plate?
A skid plate shields vulnerable undercarriage components—in this case, your washer fluid reservoir—from rocks, roots, and terrain contact during off-road driving. It redirects impact away from the component, preventing rupture, fluid loss, and costly replacement. Skid plates are essential on any modified or heavily used off-road vehicle.

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.
