Rear Differential Skid Plate
Protect one of the most vulnerable points on your 4th Gen Tacoma with a rear differential skid plate. This pinion skid helps prevent hang-ups on rocks and obstacles while shielding the differential from direct impacts that can lead to damage. It reduces the risk of oil leaks caused by scraping the diff over rocks and damaging the diff cover, keeping your drivetrain protected.
Designed for strength and durability, the skid plate mounts at five points to provide a secure, stable fit during off-road use. It also helps prevent long-term damage to the rear axle housing and pumpkin when navigating rough terrain. An integrated access hole allows for easy oil changes without removal, while additional drain holes help prevent water and mud buildup.
Finished in a durable micro-texture black powder coat, this skid plate is built to handle the elements. It also features a paintable aluminum logo plate, giving you the option to customize the look to match your build.
