A rear differential skid designed for the KDSS version of the 5th-gen 4Runner and GX 460. It is laser cut from 3/16-inch steel, hugs the differential within 1/4 inch to save ground clearance, and clamps directly to the axle housing. Drain holes let water and dirt out and leave access to the differential drain plug. The finish is a heavy-duty black powder coat.
Fitting a front skid plate can leave an open gap below the factory bumper on these trucks. This plate closes it using existing mounts, and being 14-gauge steel it adds a layer of protection for the radiator that a bare opening does not.
Fitment
FITS KDSS MODELS ONLY. Covers the 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010-2024 Lexus GX 460 equipped with KDSS. Non-KDSS trucks need a different plate.
What's included
The skid, all hardware and installation instructions.
Install notes
No-drill install using factory attachment points and the axle housing clamp. RCI provides an installation guide covering 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ and GX.
