Factory TRD skid. The cat shield and transmission skid is not for use with the factory TRD skid plate.

The 2024 Tacoma is a big step forward off-road, but the factory protection underneath is light-duty. The oil pan, transmission, catalytic converters, transfer case, fuel tank and front control arms all sit within reach of the trail.
This kit covers the lot. It is every 2024 Tacoma skid plate Cali Raised LED make for the 4th gen in one order: front, cat shield and transmission, transfer case, lower control arms and fuel tank. Choose 3/16" steel or 1/4" 5052 aircraft-grade aluminum for the main plates, and pick hybrid or non-hybrid to match your truck. The lower control arm skids are always 3/16" steel. Every plate bolts on with a mix of factory and Grade 8 hardware, with no drilling, and ships in the same semi-gloss black powder coat from Cali Raised's shop in Fort Worth, Texas.
What Each 4th Gen Tacoma Skid Plate Protects
| Plate | What It Covers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Front skid | Front underbody, the first section to meet a ledge | Not diff-drop compatible. Aluminum needs modification for TRD recovery mounts |
| Cat shield and transmission skid | Transmission and the catalytic converter area | Not for use with the factory TRD skid |
| Transfer case skid | Transfer case | Follows your steel or aluminum choice, no separate crossbar |
| Lower control arm skids | Front lower control arms | Always 3/16" steel |
| Fuel tank skid | Fuel tank |
A rear shock skid is not part of this kit. Cali Raised sell it separately if you want the rear shock mounts covered too.
✓ Why Buy the Set Instead of Single Plates
You get matching plates and finish, one order, and one session under the truck instead of five. And the cat shield is part of the set, so the catalytic converter area is covered from day one, which matters on any truck that spends nights in public car parks.
Steel or Aluminum? The Weight Breakdown
Your material choice applies to the front, cat shield and transmission, transfer case and fuel tank plates. These are Cali Raised's published weights, and the totals are our sums of them.
| Plate | 3/16" Steel | 1/4" 5052 Aluminum |
|---|---|---|
| Front skid | 48 lbs | 22 lbs |
| Cat shield and transmission | 55 lbs | 31 lbs |
| Transfer case (hybrid) | 20 lbs | 9 lbs |
| Transfer case (non-hybrid) | 30 lbs | 21 lbs |
| Fuel tank | 72 lbs | 37 lbs |
| Lower control arms | 20 lbs | 20 lbs (steel) |
| Full kit, hybrid | About 215 lbs | About 119 lbs |
| Full kit, non-hybrid | About 225 lbs | About 131 lbs |
Going aluminum saves about 96 lbs on a hybrid and 94 lbs on a non-hybrid. On a midsize truck that might also be carrying a bed rack, a rooftop tent, a fridge and recovery gear, that is a lot of payload back.
Choose Steel If
You crawl rocks regularly, drag the belly over ledges, or run TRD recovery mounts and want the front skid to fit without modification. Steel slides better and shrugs off abuse.
Choose Aluminum If
Your Tacoma is an overland rig already close to its payload, and weight matters more than ultimate toughness. The 1/4" 5052 plate is still thick and strong, but softer, so it will gouge more on sharp rock.
Installation
The plates bolt on with a combination of factory hardware and Grade 8 hardware, and no drilling. The two exceptions to a straight bolt-on are covered above: the aluminum front skid with TRD recovery mounts needs modification, and the cat shield and transmission skid is not for use alongside the factory TRD skid plate.
- Confirm 4WD, your powertrain and your front setup before you start.
- Work with the truck properly supported. The steel fuel tank skid alone is 72 lbs, so ramps or jack stands, never just a jack.
- Lift each plate on a floor jack with a scrap of wood on top, or get a friend to hold it while you start the bolts.
- Go front to back, and get every bolt on a plate started by hand before you snug any of them down.
- Keep any factory parts you remove, labelled, in case you need them later.
- Put a wrench on everything again after the first few trail miles. Plates settle.
Five plates is a proper session under the truck, so plan a full afternoon. Questions about the install? Call us before you order and we will talk you through it.
