{"product_id":"c4-fabrication-tacoma-full-skid-plates-4th-gen-2024-2026","title":"C4 Fabrication Tacoma Full Skid Plates 4th Gen 2024–2026","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plate System for the 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma (2024–2026) provides continuous underside coverage from the radiator to the transfer case, built from 3\/16\" CNC-cut pickled-and-oiled steel and weighing 122 lb as a complete system. Both front and rear skid plates are included. Variants are available for the iForce 2.4L 4-Cyl. Turbo and the iForce MAX Hybrid drivetrain, each offered in raw steel or powder coat finish, with or without a sway bar disconnect skid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRadiator-to-Transfer-Case Coverage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plate System covers the full underside of the 4th Gen Tacoma in a single purchase, including the bottom of the radiator. The radiator bottom is left exposed on Tacoma trims that do not include the TRD Off Road package. Closing that gap matters on rocky or rutted terrain where a single unprotected hit to the radiator can end a trip. The front and rear plates together span from the front of the engine bay to the transfer case, leaving no gap between them for debris to enter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance Access Without Skid Removal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plate System includes dedicated oil drain and oil filter access covers, so routine oil changes do not require pulling the skids. On a trail-ready build that sees regular service intervals, that translates directly to time saved and less wear on mounting hardware over the life of the plates. The 100% bolt-on design uses all included mounting hardware and is compatible with most aftermarket bumpers, so the system integrates with existing builds without custom fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAmerican-Made Steel Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skid plates are CNC-cut from 3\/16\" P\u0026amp;O (pickled-and-oiled) steel and manufactured in the United States. Raw-finish variants ship as bare steel and must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust; C4 Fabrication recommends test-fitting the plates before sending them out for coating to confirm alignment and fitment. The powder coat finish is applied before shipping and is ready to install. At 122 lb for the complete system, the plates add meaningful mass. Plan accordingly for any suspension or payload calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull underside span:\u003c\/strong\u003e front and rear skid plates cover radiator to transfer case as a single system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiator bottom protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e shields the radiator underside exposed on non-TRD Off Road Tacoma trims\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance access covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated oil drain and oil filter covers allow oil changes without removing the skids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-on installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% bolt-on design with all mounting hardware included; compatible with most aftermarket bumpers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\/16\" CNC-cut P\u0026amp;O steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e American-made, CNC-cut from pickled-and-oiled steel plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain-specific variants:\u003c\/strong\u003e separate configurations for iForce 2.4L 4-Cyl.

Turbo or the iForce MAX Hybrid with an automatic transmission, who want complete underside protection for off-road or overlanding use. It is particularly well-suited to Tacoma trims without the TRD Off Road package, where the radiator bottom is otherwise unprotected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis system does not fit any Tacoma generation outside 2024–2026. Installing the front skid plate removes the OEM tow and recovery points. The fuel tank is not covered by this system; a separate fuel tank skid plate is required for full underbody protection. Raw-finish variants are not ready to install as shipped and require painting or powder coating before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich sway bar disconnect variant should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eIf unsure, select the Sway Bar Disconnect Skid variant. This is the recommended default selection for the 4th Gen Tacoma. The Non-Sway Bar Disconnect Skid is intended for Tacomas that have had the sway bar disconnect system removed or modified. Choosing the wrong variant can result in fitment issues, so confirm your truck's configuration before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the raw steel finish need to be treated before installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Raw-finish C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plates ship as bare pickled-and-oiled steel and must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust. C4 Fabrication recommends test-fitting the plates on the vehicle first to confirm alignment and fitment before sending them out for coating, since coating a plate that needs adjustment adds cost and delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWill these skid plates work with my aftermarket front bumper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plate System is designed to be compatible with most aftermarket bumpers. However, note that installing the front skid plate removes the OEM tow and recovery points. If your build relies on those OEM points for recovery, plan for an aftermarket bumper or recovery solution before installing the skid system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan I change the oil without removing the skid plates?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plate System includes dedicated oil drain and oil filter access covers built into the plates, so routine oil changes can be completed without unbolting or removing the skids. This is a deliberate design feature for owners who service their own vehicles on a regular schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this system cover the fuel tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The C4 Fabrication Full Skid Plate System covers the underside from the radiator to the transfer case, but the fuel tank is not included in this system's coverage. A separate C4 Fabrication Tacoma fuel tank skid plate is available and is required for complete underbody protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C4 Fabrication","offers":[{"title":"Raw \/ iForce 2.4L 4-Cyl.
