Cali Raised LED Front Skid Plate – 4th Gen Tacoma
The factory gravel plate on the 2024+ Tacoma isn’t designed for real protection to your trucks undercarraige. It’s thin, leaves gaps, and won’t hold up when rocks or stumps come into play. If you’re planning on taking your Tacoma anywhere off the highway, upgrading to a true skid plate should be one of your first steps.
The Cali Raised LED Front Skid Plate is built from either aluminum or steel and bolts directly into factory mounting points. It protects the engine and front differential replacing both factory gravel plates.
Why You Would Want It
The OEM cover is more of a splash shield than armor. It bends, tears, and leaves vital components vulnerable. The Cali Raised plate solves that problem with a strong design that can take real-world impacts.
We picked aluminum for this build because it gives you solid protection without weighing the truck down. That means better handling, less strain on suspension, and no rust issues in winter or wet conditions. It’s the right balance of strength and usability for daily drivers and weekend wheelers alike.
Key Features
- Bolt-On Fit: Installs with factory mounting points, no cutting or drilling required.
- Front Coverage: Shields the engine and front differential from trail damage.
- Service Access: Drainage and cutouts for quick oil changes and easy cleaning.
- No Rattles: Precision fit design eliminates shifting and vibration.
- Made in the USA: Built with quality materials and craftsmanship.
Why Choose This Over Other Skid Plates?
Many aftermarket skid plates go too far in one direction: heavy steel that sags the front of the truck, or thin aluminum that doesn’t hold up. The Cali Raised LED skid plate is tailored specifically for the 4th Gen Tacoma, providing coverage and strength without excess weight. It’s built to perform both on the daily commute and on the trail.
Why We Recommend It
This is the skid plate we trust for 4th Gen Tacoma builds. It’s light, durable, and easy to install with no extra modifications. If you want reliable protection without sacrificing handling or efficiency, this is the one to run.
