Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen A-Arm Skids

Lower A-arms take the first hit on a 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma — they lead the tires into every rock, rut, and ledge, and the factory leaves them bare. These Artec A-Arm Skids bolt directly to the OEM lower control arms, wrapping them in one-piece 1/4" aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum that's been formed on custom dies and TIG welded. The contoured shape follows the arm so you give up no ground clearance, countersunk bolts keep the underside smooth, and the pair adds only about 7 pounds of unsprung weight — a design proven in Ultra4 racing and rock crawling.

Features

• 1/4" aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum — a tougher alloy than the 5052 many competitors use
• One-piece construction formed on custom dies, then TIG welded for strength
• Bolts directly to the factory lower A-arms — no aftermarket arms required
• Contoured profile protects without sacrificing ground clearance
• Countersunk bolts leave a smooth face that slides off rock
• Adds only about 7 lbs of unsprung weight for the pair
• Designed from factory CAD files for a precise fit
• Lifetime warranty against weld failure, cracking, or bending

Fits the 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma, 2016-2023, bolting to the stock lower A-arms; if your truck runs the OEM TRD skid plates, a minor bit of trimming is needed for clearance. They're the front line of Artec's Tacoma armor — add the Tacoma 3G Bellypan and Fuel Tank Skid, or get all three in the Tacoma Full Skid Plate System.
