Frequently Asked Questions
+ Do I have to drill or make permanent modifications to my new Tacoma?
Absolutely not. The entire skid plate system is 100% bolt-on and uses existing factory mounting points on your vehicle's frame. No drilling, cutting, or welding is required, and you can return the vehicle to stock at any time.
+ Which material is right for me, steel or aluminum?
It depends on your primary use. Steel offers maximum durability and is ideal for serious rock crawling where heavy impacts are common. Aluminum provides excellent protection for most overlanding and trail riding scenarios, with the added benefits of being significantly lighter and naturally rust-resistant.
+ Will this collection fit my 2WD Tacoma?
No, this complete skid plate collection is designed specifically for 4WD models of the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma and will not fit 2WD versions.
+ Can I still change my oil with the skid plates installed?
Yes! The front skid plate is designed with convenient access points for the oil filter and drain plug, so you do not need to remove the entire plate system for routine engine maintenance.
