2005-2015 Tacoma (2nd Gen) Skid Plates

Skid plates protect your vehicle’s most vulnerable components — like the engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank — from rocks, stumps, and trail debris. We design ours to take the hit so your undercarriage doesn’t have to, letting you focus on the adventure, not the damage.

We build our skid plates from premium aluminum or steel, depending on your preference. Aluminum keeps weight down while still offering solid protection, and steel delivers maximum durability for extreme conditions. Both are laser-cut, precision-formed, and powder-coated for long-lasting performance.

We make skid plates for a wide range of vehicle manufacturers including Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Chevy, Subaru and RAM. Each plate is engineered specifically for your vehicle’s frame and mounting points for a perfect fit and full protection.
 

Our skid plates are 100% bolt-on using existing factory holes. There’s no cutting, drilling, or welding required — just remove the stock guards (if equipped) and bolt our plates in place. It’s a quick install you can do at home with basic tools.
 

Yes. We offer full skid plate systems that cover the entire underbody — including the engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank. You can buy each piece individually or go all-in for complete protection front to back.
 

Our steel versions are 3/16" while our aluminum skid plates are typically 1/4″ thick or thicker for maximum strength. Both options strike a balance between protection and weight to handle serious off-road punishment.

Barely. We design our skid plates to sit tight against the frame and body so you keep as much ground clearance as possible. In most cases, the added protection is worth far more than the small difference in height.

Absolutely. Many off-roaders run aluminum up front for weight savings and steel in the middle or rear for added strength. Our modular system lets you mix materials and swap components anytime.
 

Yes. Our skid plates are powder-coated right here in-house for a consistent, durable finish that resists corrosion and trail abuse. It’s one more way we keep quality in our control from start to finish
 

After each trip, rinse off mud, sand, or salt and inspect your skid plates for scratches or dings. Touch up any exposed areas with quality paint to prevent rust. Proper care keeps your plates looking good and performing great season after season.
 

Yes. Our bolt-on design makes installation simple — most sets can be installed in about an hour with common tools. You don’t need a lift or welding gear; just follow our step-by-step instructions and you’re good to go.
 

We generally recommend powder coating for most users because it provides a durable, finished look right out of the box. Our process includes a 2-stage epoxy primer base coat—something many others skip—which drastically increases rust resistance even if you scratch the top layer on a rock. However, we also offer “bare metal” options for the DIY crowd. If you plan on welding your own custom additions or prefer to use a rattle-can paint for easy touch-ups after grinding them on trails, bare metal saves you money and gives you that flexibility.
