Body Armor & Underbody Protection for Toyota Trucks
Shield your Toyota from trail damage with skid plates, rock sliders, body armor, and underbody protection from trusted off-road manufacturers. We carry armor solutions for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, FJ Cruiser, and Land Cruiser — all designed to protect critical undercarriage components like the oil pan, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank.
If you drive off-road, underbody protection is not optional — it is essential. A single rock strike to your oil pan or transfer case can end your trip and cost thousands in repairs. Quality skid plates and rock sliders give you confidence to push through technical terrain without worrying about expensive damage.
Types of Armor Protection
- Skid plates: Bolt-on aluminum or steel plates that cover the oil pan, transmission, and transfer case
- Rock sliders: Heavy-duty side rails that protect the rocker panels from trail damage and can double as a step
- Differential armor: Protective covers for front and rear differentials during rock crawling
- A-arm guards: Shields for the lower control arms on IFS-equipped trucks
Pair with: Bumpers & Armor · Suspension
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need skid plates for off-roading?
If you drive on trails with rocks, stumps, or uneven terrain, skid plates are essential. A single rock hit to your oil pan can cause catastrophic engine failure and leave you stranded. Quality skid plates cost far less than the components they protect.
What's the difference between aluminum and steel skid plates?
Steel skid plates are stronger and more abrasion-resistant, ideal for serious rock crawling. Aluminum plates are lighter (typically 40-50% less weight) and resist corrosion better, making them great for overlanding and moderate trails. Both offer significantly more protection than stock plastic splash guards.
Can I install skid plates and rock sliders myself?
Most skid plates and rock sliders are designed for bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. Basic hand tools and a floor jack are typically all you need. Installation usually takes 1-3 hours depending on the component and your experience level.
