Just a quick note to say your bare alum. Skid plate for Gen 4 4Runner’s was an easy install and solved the V8 oil filter access issue and convenient cutout for easy access to the fumoto oil drain. Thank you for a great, well engineered product.

I chose RCI as my front skid plate upgrade option; let me tell you… I was shocked by how heavy and heavy duty this thing is. Amazing value for the money!

Ordered the black steel. High quality and beefy! Just make sure to put the nylon washers in between the skid plate and the frame at the most rear bolts.

After trying several other companies/skid plates, this was by far the best. It actually bolts on to factory mounts and took me about 30 minutes to install. This is a fantastic product and I will be buying more of RCI stuff. Also, called tech support for a quick question and the guys helped me right away and was super nice. Well done RCI!

I have been looking to upgrade my factory skids on my 2004 V8 for a while and, after looking around, I decided on the raw aluminum engine skid and could not be more happy with my choice. I wanted to stay away from steel as our vehicle is not a rock basher and loved that these came in a quality aluminum option. This is light weight with excellent craftsmanship plus quality hardware. It was an easy swap that can be done in a few moments in the driveway. Not to mention, the raw aluminum looks pretty sharp! This is a solid investment and information from the company was always quick and reliable.
