Cali Raised LED Front Skid Plate for 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner — Heavy-Duty Engine & Radiator Protection

The factory splash guard on the 5th Gen 4Runner is designed for highway debris, not the rigors of the trail. The Cali Raised LED Front Skid Plate is a substantial upgrade, engineered to shield your engine’s most vital components—including the oil pan, radiator, and front differential—from jagged rocks and stumps. Laser-cut from 3/16" American-sourced steel, this skid plate provides the structural integrity needed to withstand high-intensity impacts while maintaining the sleek, low-profile look of your 4Runner's front end.

Proudly made in the USA, this armor is more than just a piece of flat steel. It is CAD-designed and CNC-bent to follow the specific contours of the 2010-2024 4Runner chassis, ensuring maximum ground clearance. Whether you are navigating a rock garden or bombing through a desert wash, this skid plate provides the confidence to push your vehicle further without the fear of a costly underbody puncture.

Intelligent Design for Easy Maintenance

One of the most frustrating aspects of aftermarket armor is having to remove it for routine service. Cali Raised LED has solved this with a dedicated removable oil filter access door and a precision-placed drain plug port. You can perform oil changes in your driveway or at the shop without ever dropping the skid plate. This thoughtful engineering makes it the perfect choice for daily drivers who also demand professional-grade protection on the weekends.

Compatibility & Customization

The 4Runner platform has various suspension and trim configurations, and Cali Raised LED offers tailored solutions for all of them. This skid plate is available in a KDSS-specific version, featuring the necessary clearancing for the larger Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System sway bars. Additionally, you can choose between a Raw Steel finish for custom color-matching or a durable Black Powder Coat that offers a multi-stage barrier against rust and road salt.

Seamless Bolt-On Installation

Installation is a strictly bolt-on affair. This skid plate utilizes the factory mounting points on your 4Runner's frame, requiring zero drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications. It integrates perfectly with the factory bumper and most aftermarket "slimline" and full-width bumpers. Whether your 4Runner is a stock SR5 or a fully built TRD Pro, this front skid plate is the foundational piece of armor your build requires.

Pros & Cons

Pros

No-Stress Maintenance — The oil filter access door makes oil changes as easy as stock.
High-Strength Armor — 3/16" steel is significantly stronger than aluminum or factory guards.
KDSS Friendly — Specific geometry available for 4Runners with the KDSS system.
Direct Bolt-On — Replaces the factory guard using existing frame holes.

Cons

Added Front-End Weight — Being steel, it adds about 45 lbs to the front, which may slightly affect front-end sag on stock springs.
Raw Steel Care — If ordered Raw, it must be painted or coated immediately to prevent surface rust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skid plate work with the TRD Pro?

Yes, this skid plate can be used on the TRD Pro. However, please note that it replaces the factory TRD silver aluminum skid plate if you have one installed.

What is the benefit of steel over aluminum for a front skid?

While aluminum is lighter, steel is superior for sliding over rocks and resisting "gouging." Steel is also easier to repair (hammer back into shape) if a major impact occurs.

Will this fit with my 5th Gen 4Runner's KDSS?

Yes! Just make sure to select the "KDSS" option when ordering to ensure you receive the plate with the correct bends to clear the KDSS sway bar components.
