Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen Fuel Tank Skid

The plastic fuel tank under a 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma is one of the most expensive things a rock can reach, and the factory leaves it essentially bare. This Artec Fuel Tank Skid puts 1/4" 6061 aluminum between the tank and the trail, mounted on 3/16" zinc-plated steel brackets and contoured from 3D scans so it sits tight against the tank instead of costing you clearance. Upturned side flanges close off the gaps around the tank where a flat plate would let debris through, and drain holes keep water and mud from sitting against the plastic.

Features

• 1/4" 6061 aluminum plate — tougher surface than the 5052 alloy on many competing skids
• 3/16" zinc-plated steel support brackets for a rigid, rust-resistant mount
• Upturned side flanges reach into the gaps to seal out rocks and debris
• Drain holes prevent water and mud buildup behind the skid
• Contoured from 3D scans — hugs the tank, doesn't hang low
• Pressed nuts in the brackets allow one-tool removal for service
• Lifetime warranty on welds, cracking, or bending for the original purchaser

Fits short-bed 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma models (2016-2023) only — long-bed trucks carry the tank differently, so check your bed length first. Install is bolt-on with no trimming and minimal drilling. It's designed to integrate with the Tacoma 3G Bellypan and Tacoma A-Arm Skids, or save by ordering the complete Tacoma Full Skid Plate System. Browse the rest of our skid plates.
