I thought this might work based on the chassis being similar and a few fab companies mention their skids being compatible with both FJ and 4runners.
My skid plate is rusted and bashed beyond usefulness. There was an FJ skid for sale on FB. The FJ skid is wider and longer. The front mount point will line up. However, the rear mount point doesnt have a hanging bracket, like on the 4r and the mount points are wider.
The second skid plate/ mid engine skid, the one with the access for oil change does appear to be the same
Hope this answers someone else's question and saves someone time

Front fits, check. On the back side use spacer sleeves with the appropriate length bolt to replicate the hanging bracket not there. Drill the holes in skid to line up the wider mounting points. Cheap and simple. ✌️👽
