Cali Raised LED Transfer Case Skid Plate for 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser — Mid-Ship Drivetrain Defense
The transfer case is one of the most vulnerable and expensive components on your FJ Cruiser, positioned at the mid-point of your wheelbase where "high-centering" is most likely to occur. The Cali Raised LED Transfer Case Skid Plate is engineered to provide edge-to-edge protection for this critical driveline assembly. By replacing the thin factory guard with laser-cut 3/16" American steel or 1/4" 5052 aluminum, you transform a potential trail-ending impact into a minor slide, allowing you to navigate jagged rocks and steep breakover angles with total confidence.
Proudly made in the USA, this skid plate is CAD-designed specifically for the 2007-2014 FJ Cruiser frame. It features a sleek, low-profile design that maximizes ground clearance while providing a smooth surface for obstacles to glide under. The included heavy-duty 3/16" steel cross-member (standard for both steel and aluminum options) ensures the system remains rigid and vibration-free, even under heavy vertical loads.
Material Choice: Steel vs. Aluminum
Cali Raised LED offers this armor in two specialized materials to suit your specific adventuring style:
- 3/16" Steel: The ultimate choice for dedicated rock crawlers. It offers maximum dent resistance and structural rigidity for those who frequently "drag" their belly over granite and ledges. Available Raw or in a durable Black Powder Coat.
- 1/4" 5052 Aluminum: The ideal option for overlanders and daily drivers. It provides substantial protection while reducing overall weight by approximately 40%. It is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it perfect for salty or humid environments.
Serviceability and Bolt-Protector Rings
Protection shouldn't make maintenance a nightmare. This skid plate features integrated cutouts that allow for easy cleaning of mud and debris and provide clear access to drain plugs without removing the plate. Furthermore, Cali Raised LED includes proprietary bolt-protector rings that surround the mounting hardware. These rings shield the bolt heads from being "sheared off" or rounded by rocks, ensuring you can still remove the armor for deeper maintenance years down the line.
100% Bolt-On Integrity
Designed for a precision fit, this transfer case skid is a 100% bolt-on solution. It utilizes existing factory mounting points on the FJ Cruiser’s frame, requiring zero drilling, welding, or permanent modifications. It integrates seamlessly with the rest of the Cali Raised LED armor suite, creating a continuous "belly pan" effect from the front differential to the transmission and beyond.
