This RCI plate protects the rear differential on 2024-present Tacoma TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trucks. It is laser cut from heavy-duty 3/16" steel and shaped to sit within 1/4" of the differential, so it shields the housing without costing much ground clearance. A black powder coat resists corrosion, and integrated drain holes let water and debris escape while the drain plug stays accessible. Made in the USA.
Highlights: 3/16" laser-cut steel protects the rear differential; Clamps to the axle housing, no drilling; Within 1/4" of the differential, minimal clearance loss; Integrated drain holes with drain plug access; Installs with basic hand tools.
