Build your own protection package! Start with the front skid and add additional skid plates to suit your needs.
Our beefy front skid is CNC cut and precision formed from 3/16" steel plate for a great fit and solid protection to the vital components of your truck. Designed to specifically integrate cleanly with the lower edge of our front bumper for continual front protection, however it will mount without our bumper as well.
Key Features:
- CNC cut and formed from 3/16" HRPO steel
- Skids mount using factory locations, and requires only basic hand tools for installation.
- Front/IFS Skid plate protects the engine oil pan and filter assembly, front differential, alignment cams, and steering rack.
- Mid/Transmission skid protects not only the transmission, but also protects the front sway bar disconnect mechanism on trucks equipped with this feature.
- Transmission skid plate mates up with the front skid at the forward section and wraps under and mounts to the transmission cross member at the rear of the plate.
- A handy hole is positioned for access to oil drain plug for simple oil changes in both Engine and Transmission skid plates.
- WEIGHT: Front: 55 lbs Transmission skid: 50 lbs
- Ships bare metal, finish coating/painting required before installation.
Note that at this time we only offer the transmission skid for the Hybrid model, non-hybrid transmission skid will be designed and available at a future date(TBD), as will a Transfer case skid plate.
For sake of strength, there is no access panel for the oil filter, however we deemed there to be adequate access above skid to access filter without skid plate removal. Transmission skid plate features a drain hole cut in as well for ease of service.
**NOTE: This skid is intended for mounting on TRD Off-road or Pro models, if you have a different trim of Tacoma then a front skid cross member will need to be purchased to fully secure this skid plate.**
Availability:
*Skids are usually made to order and may take 2-6 weeks depending on workload. If ordered in conjunction with our bumper, the items will ship together at the longer applicable lead time.
