Description
Description
Don't let a hidden stump or jagged rock end your adventure early. Designed to fit the 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacoma (2005-2023), 5th Gen 4Runner (2010-2024), and FJ Cruiser (2007-2014), these skids protect one of the most vulnerable and lowest-hanging components of your front suspension from costly trail damage.
Slide, Don't Snag
Your factory Lower Control Arms act like anchors when dragging over rocks, often getting hung up or bent upon impact. These heavy-duty skid plates create a smooth, angled surface that allows your truck to slide effortlessly over obstacles. Whether you are traversing technical rock gardens or punching through deep ruts, these skids take the beating so your alignment and suspension components don't have to.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Crafted from 3/16" American Steel, offering superior impact resistance compared to factory tin shields.
- Durable Finish: Comes standard in a Black Powder Coat to resist corrosion and blend seamlessly with your chassis.
- 100% Bolt-On: Installs using a combination of factory and provided Grade 8 hardware. No drilling, cutting, or welding is required.
- Drainage & Maintenance: Designed to allow water and mud to drain freely, preventing rust buildup and making post-trip washdowns easy.
Vehicle Fitment
These skid plates feature a universal design for the independent front suspension (IFS) platforms listed below.
| Vehicle | Year | Important Notes |
| Toyota Tacoma | 2005 – 2023 (2nd & 3rd Gen) | Fits all trims |
| Toyota 4Runner | 2010 – 2024 (5th Gen) | Does NOT fit KDSS Models |
| Toyota FJ Cruiser | 2007 – 2014 | Compatible with most skid plate systems |
⚠️ KDSS WARNING: If you have a 4Runner equipped with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), these skid plates will NOT fit due to interference with the sway bar assembly. Please verify your suspension before ordering.
Installation Information
- This is one of the easiest armor upgrades you can perform, typically taking less than 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
- Professional Installation: Prefer to keep your driveway clean? The O2 team in Surrey, BC, can install these quickly while you wait. We’ll ensure everything is torqued to spec and check your other underbody protection while you're on the lift.
Pro Tip: Lower control arms are often the first contact point when you slip off a rock. A bent LCA can ruin your alignment and leave you limping home (or worse, waiting for a tow). These skids offer permanent peace of mind.
