Protect the vulnerable front-end components of your Tacoma with this 1/4-inch aluminum Connector Skid Plate, designed specifically for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacomas equipped with a Backwoods Tacoma Front Bumper. This plate bridges the gap between the bumper’s winch mount and the top of an aftermarket engine skid, creating a seamless and durable front-to-rear protection system while shielding cooler lines and exposed underbody components.
