Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen Full Skid Plate System - A-Arm, Bellypan, Fuel

This is Artec's complete underbody package for the 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner: A-arm skids, full bellypan, and fuel tank skid in a single kit. Everything is cut from 1/4" 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum on 3/16" zinc-plated steel brackets, covering the oil pan, transmission, transfer case, front exhaust, and fuel tank while coming in around a third lighter than a comparable steel system. The no-overlap panel design actually gains ground clearance over the low-hanging factory guards, and buying the three pieces bundled costs less than collecting them one at a time. For an overland or trail 4Runner that leaves pavement regularly, this is the one-order armor solution.

Fits the 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner, 2014-2024 — but not KDSS-equipped trucks without modification, so check for KDSS before ordering. It clears sway bar drop brackets and partial diff drops, though not a full cradle drop; plan on roughly four hours for a careful install. Prefer to stage the build? The pieces sell separately as the Bellypan System, Fuel Tank Skid, and A-Arm Skids, and the rest of our armor lives in the skid plates collection.
