Shrockworks 3G 4Runner Skid Plate Announcement

After a few weeks of designing, tweaking and a little bit of wheeling we are ready to release another great product for you guys. We now offer a complete under-body skid package to protect the major components of your rig.

These skids mount using all factory holes and are constructed of 7 gauge mild steel. The entire set weighs in at ~160 lbs. One hole in the entire set requires drilling, and it is optional. Most all of the fasteners along the bottom of the skids are carriage bolts, so you don't have to worry about ripping off bolt heads dragging them over rocks.

The front most skid mounts using the tow hook locations in each of the frame rails instead of the flimsy factory radiator skid mount. If there is one skid that takes a serious beating, this is the one, so we wanted to make sure it had a solid mounting system.

These skids are modular, and can be purchased and mounted independently of each other (with the exception of the oil pan skid, which requires the radiator skid), or can be purchased as a full set covering the Radiator, Engine, Transmission, Transfer-case, and Gas tank. When run as a full set, all skids make a smooth transition into the next leaving less opportunity for hang ups on trail obstacles.

Most of these skids are also compatible with the 96-04 Tacomas, minus the T-case and Gas skids. But, we have designed a Tacoma specific T-case skid as well.

As for pricing, we will be selling these for $879 for a complete set bare steel, shipping is will be included in the product price. Powder coated black will be an additional $149. We will be running an introductory special on the first 10 sets bare steel for $698 with FREE shipping, and they will be ready to ship by the end of this week! We have yet to work out pricing for the skids individually.

Let us know what you think

Pricing update in the first post. We will offer them sold separately, but have not worked out pricing for the skids individually yet. It will certainly be cheaper to buy them as a set than individually though.
 
I've seen these skid plates first hand and talk about another amazing product from Shrockworks. My 4runner had the pleasure of being the fitment tester for the 5 speeds. Top notch product for sure!
 
The gas tank skid looks a lot like the skid that I sell.

I've sent a few folks your way over the years.

One of our customers had purchased your skid way back in like 2008, and was trying to figure out how to make it work with our sliders. An issue we addressed with our gas skid.

We're obviously covering the same gas tank, trying to achieve the most clearance possible, and doing so by folding heavy gauge plate so there are bound to be some similarities. :tea:

I do appreciate that.
I have had to modify some skids to work around you slider mount.

I'm sure, as with all of your products. These are going to be nice.

I might be interested in a set. How many parts? Easier to do oil changes then my Budbuilts? Does it cover the catalytic converter?

There are 5 skids total. Radiator, Engine, Transmission, Transfer-case, and Gas. No skids have to be removed for engine oil changes.
 
Is there a drain hole for the oil pan?

I'm curious to know how much oil would pool up when the filter is removed
 
Looks like these skids don't protect the FWD LCA mounts. This seems troublesome to me, since my current skids have some decent rock rash in that area. My LCA mounts would be thrashed if it wasn't for my BB.
 
Yes! Yes! Ohhhh, yes! Many times have i looked at the 4th and 5th gen skids and wondered why you weren't making them for my truck. Very excited about this!
