Yes, both the RIVAL Engine Skid Plate and Transmission Skid Plate are designed to be fully compatible with Toyota 4Runner models equipped with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS).

+ Do I have to remove the plate for an oil change?

No. The Engine and Transmission skid plates are engineered with service access ports that allow you to perform routine maintenance, like oil changes, without needing to remove the entire plate.

+ Is any drilling or modification to my vehicle required?

No, all RIVAL 4Runner skid plates are 100% bolt-on products. They are designed to use the existing factory mounting points on your 4Runner's frame, ensuring a simple installation process with no permanent modifications.

+ Do I need to remove the skid plate for an oil change?

Yes, for most services including oil changes, this skid plate will need to be removed. However, its straightforward bolt-on design makes the removal and reinstallation process quick and easy for you or your mechanic.

+ Why is a gas tank skid plate so important for off-roading?

The factory gas tank is often made of plastic and is one of the largest and most vulnerable components on your vehicle's underbelly. A puncture from a sharp rock can not only leave you stranded but also create a serious fire hazard. This skid plate provides essential protection against punctures and impacts.

+ Is aluminum strong enough to protect a fuel tank?

Absolutely. The strength of this 1/4-inch plate comes from its deep-stamped design with reinforcing ribs, which makes it extremely rigid. It's engineered to absorb and distribute impacts effectively, providing robust protection while being significantly lighter than steel.
