Protect your 2nd or 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma with a full aluminum skid plate system engineered for maximum coverage, lightweight performance, and long-term durability. Made from beefy 1/4-inch aluminum, this system delivers full undercarriage protection—engine, transmission, and transfer case—without the excess weight or rust issues of steel. Designed to nest together into one solid shield, these skids offer seamless coverage for serious off-road use.
Important Notes
4x4 Only: Not compatible with 2WD Tacomas.
No Diff Drops: Not compatible with aftermarket differential drop kits.
Sway Bar Clearance: If you’re running frame support brackets, reservoir brackets, and this skid system, your front sway bar may contact the top ears of the engine skid. Minor trimming may be required.
Optional Connector Plate: Required only when pairing with a Backwoods Tacoma Front Bumper for seamless coverage.
Powder Coat Included: Skids come black powder coated—not raw aluminum as shown in some photos.
