Full underbody armor for your 4Runner — engine to transfer case, one bolt-on package.
This package covers the places a 6th Gen 4Runner takes hits: the engine skid shields the oil pan, front differential and power steering rack; the transmission skid shields the transmission pan, the catalytic converters and the components below the frame; the transfer case skid protects the case on 4x4 models. The package price is the component sum with the savings shown right on this page.
Aluminum can't rust the way steel plates do — every scratch on steel armor is where corrosion starts, especially with road salt. Ours is 1/4" 5052 aluminum, powder-coated black, CNC plasma-cut and press-brake formed in our Wheat Ridge, Colorado shop.

- Weighs around 70 lbs for the set
- Powder-coated black for abrasion resistance
- Bolt-on installation using factory mounting points — no drilling, no modifications
- All hardware included
- Designed, cut, and finished in Colorado — 100% made in USA

✅ Will this fit your 4Runner?
Fits the 2025-2026 6th Gen Toyota 4Runner, 2WD and 4WD. Select your engine above — i-FORCE MAX hybrid or non-hybrid i-FORCE turbo. Shares the TNGA-F platform with the 4th Gen Tacoma, and the hybrid package is the same set of plates we build for the 2024–2027 Land Cruiser.
✅ Works with frame-mounted rock sliders and aftermarket suspension kits.
⚠️ Will not fit lifts over 4" that use subframe drops — the drop brackets take the factory mounting points.

Aluminum vs. steel — why we build in 1/4″ aluminum
| What matters underbody | Our 1/4″ 5052-H32 aluminum | Typical 3/16″ steel |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance to permanent bending | Higher — bend resistance rises with the square of thickness | Baseline |
| Weight | About half — easier on payload | Heavier — a full set can top 120 lb |
| Corrosion | Won't rust | Rusts where the coating chips |
| Surface hardness (drag over rock) | Softer — can gouge on granite | Harder — steel's real edge |
Thickness does more work than material name: resistance to permanent bending scales with the square of plate thickness, so 1/4″ 5052-H32 aluminum takes a bigger hit before it stays bent than the 3/16″ steel most kits run — at about half the weight, and it never rusts. Steel’s honest advantage is surface hardness: if your truck lives on rock ledges, steel gouges less. For most owners, the thicker aluminum wins the trade.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about our skid plates and armor
What is a skid plate, and what does it protect?
Underbody armor that shields your oil pan, transmission, catalytic converter, transfer case, and front differential from rocks, road debris, potholes, and trail impacts.
What are Juggernaut skid plates made of?
1/4" 5052-H32 aluminum, powder-coated black, with steel mounting brackets where needed — made in-house in Wheat Ridge, Colorado from US-sourced aluminum.
Why aluminum instead of steel?
Aluminum is roughly half the weight of steel and won't rust — full-strength underbody protection without the weight penalty or corrosion of steel armor.
Will a skid plate hurt my gas mileage?
Negligibly — an aluminum set weighs about half what steel does, so the added weight is minimal.
Do I need one if I mostly drive on the street?
Yes — potholes, road debris, and steep driveways damage undercarriages even off the trail. It's cheap insurance against expensive repairs.
Do I have to drill or modify my vehicle to install it?
No — every Juggernaut skid plate is 100% bolt-on to factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or welding.
Can I install it myself?
Yes — bolt-on installation with basic hand tools, usually about 1–2 hours. Step-by-step guides are on each product's install page.
Can I still change my oil with the skid plate installed?
Yes — our plates include oil-drain access cutouts so you can do routine oil changes without removing the skid plate.
Will it affect engine or transmission cooling?
No — the plates are designed to preserve factory airflow to coolers and components.
Will it reduce my ground clearance?
Minimal — plates contour to the frame and tuck up against the underbody so they slide over obstacles rather than hang low.
Will it rust or corrode?
No — aluminum doesn't rust, and the black powder coat adds further corrosion resistance.
Does adding a skid plate void my vehicle warranty?
No — under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a bolt-on aftermarket part can't void your factory warranty on its own.
What warranty do Juggernaut skid plates include?
A lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Where are they made and how fast do they ship?
Made in the USA in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and shipped nationwide next business day. Use the year/make/model selector on any product page to confirm fit.
