Cali Raised LED Transfer Case Skid Plate for 2024+ Toyota Tacoma — Precision Driveline Defense
The transfer case is arguably the most vulnerable component on the underbelly of your 2024 Tacoma. Positioned at the mid-point of the wheelbase, it is the primary target for "high-centering" when crawling over crests or jagged rocks. The Cali Raised LED Transfer Case Skid Plate is engineered to provide a bulletproof barrier for this expensive drivetrain component. By replacing the lack of factory protection with laser-cut 3/16" American steel, you gain the confidence to pivot off obstacles that would otherwise result in a cracked housing and a catastrophic fluid leak.
Proudly made in the USA, this skid plate is CAD-designed specifically for the 4th Gen Tacoma's redesigned frame. Unlike universal options, it follows the exact geometry of the 2024 chassis to ensure maximum ground clearance. To provide superior structural integrity, this kit includes a heavy-duty 3/16" steel replacement cross-member, ensuring that the skid plate remains rigid even when supporting the weight of the truck during a hard mid-ship impact.
Advanced Bolt-Head Protection
One of the standout features of Cali Raised LED armor is the inclusion of proprietary bolt-protector rings. In technical terrain, standard bolt heads often get "sheared off" or rounded by rock scrapes, making it impossible to remove the armor for maintenance. These welded steel rings shield the mounting hardware from direct impact, ensuring that your tools will still fit years after the plate has been put to work on the trail.
Material and Finish Mastery
This skid plate is built to handle the harshest environments on earth. It is available in two specialized configurations to suit your build:
- 3/16" American Steel: The professional standard for rock crawling. It offers the highest possible dent resistance and allows the truck to "slide" over obstacles. Available Raw or in a durable Black Powder Coat.
- Integrated Serviceability: The plate features precision-placed drain ports that prevent the accumulation of mud, salt, and water, which are the primary causes of underbody corrosion. It is also designed to clear all factory exhaust and cooling lines found on the new 2024 powertrain.
Zero-Drill, Professional Installation
The Cali Raised LED Transfer Case Skid is a 100% bolt-on solution. It utilizes existing factory mounting points on the 2024 Tacoma frame, requiring zero drilling, welding, or permanent modification. This preserves your factory warranty and makes installation a straightforward project for anyone with a basic socket set. It integrates seamlessly with Cali Raised LED’s Front and Transmission skids to create a continuous "belly pan" of protection from the front bumper to the fuel tank.

Yes. This skid plate has been engineered to clear the specific components and cooling lines associated with the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid powertrain.
