{"product_id":"c4-fabrication-tacoma-rear-skid-plates-4th-gen-2024-2026","title":"C4 Fabrication Tacoma Rear Skid Plates 4th Gen 2024-2026","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Rear Skid Plates for the 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma (2024–2026) protect the transmission, transfer case, and exhaust (including catalytic converters) with 3\/16-inch CNC-cut pickled-and-oiled steel and a bolt-in crossmember engineered specifically for the transfer case. At 72 lb with all mounting hardware included, the set installs fully bolt-on. Variants cover both the iForce 2.4L 4-Cyl. Turbo and iForce MAX Hybrid drivetrains, with separate configurations for trucks equipped with or without a sway bar disconnect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUndercarriage Protection Where It Counts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transmission and transfer case sit low on the 4th Gen Tacoma's undercarriage, directly in the path of rocks, ledges, and debris on technical terrain. C4 Fabrication's 3\/16-inch P\u0026amp;O steel construction gives these components a continuous armor layer thick enough to absorb glancing rock strikes and sustained brush contact without deforming. The bolt-in crossmember adds a structural tie point specifically at the transfer case, so the skid plate doesn't flex away from the component it's protecting under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBolt-On Fit, No Fabrication Required\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear skid plates mount entirely with the included hardware: no drilling, no welding, no custom brackets required. Because C4 Fabrication offers separate configurations for the iForce 2.4L 4-Cyl. Turbo and the iForce MAX Hybrid, and separate skids for trucks with and without a sway bar disconnect, each variant is cut to clear the correct components without modification. Selecting the right drivetrain and sway bar option at checkout means the plates arrive ready to bolt into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinish Options and What They Require\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw (bare steel) variants ship without any coating. Bare steel will rust if left uncoated, so raw skid plates must be painted or powder coated before installation. C4 Fabrication recommends test-fitting the plates before sending them out for coating to confirm alignment and fitment first. Powder-coated variants arrive ready to install without additional surface prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16-inch CNC-cut pickled-and-oiled (P\u0026amp;O) steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-in crossmember:\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated structural crossmember for transfer case protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e transmission, transfer case, and exhaust including catalytic converters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e all mounting hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain-specific fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e separate configurations for iForce 2.4L Turbo and iForce MAX Hybrid, and for sway bar disconnect and non-sway bar disconnect trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish options:\u003c\/strong\u003e raw steel or powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4th Gen Toyota Tacoma, 2024–2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDrivetrain Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eiForce 2.4L 4-Cyl.

Turbo or the iForce MAX Hybrid drivetrain who want bolt-on undercarriage protection for the transmission, transfer case, and exhaust on trails, forest roads, or other terrain where rock and debris contact is likely. This set is particularly suited to those who already have or are purchasing the C4 Fabrication front skid plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese plates do not fit any Tacoma generation other than the 4th Gen (2024–2026), and they will not install without the C4 Fabrication front skid plate, which is sold separately and is not included. These plates are only compatible with the C4 Fabrication front skid plate; no other brand's front skid plate will work.

The front skid plate is sold separately and must be purchased to complete the installation. These rear skid plates will not install without it, and they are only compatible with the C4 Fabrication front skid plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich sway bar disconnect option should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eIf you are unsure whether your 4th Gen Tacoma has a sway bar disconnect, select the Sway Bar Disconnect Skid variant. It is the recommended default. The Non-Sway Bar Disconnect Skid is for trucks confirmed not to have that feature. Choosing the wrong configuration may result in fitment issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the raw finish require before I can install the skid plates?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eRaw variants of the C4 Fabrication Tacoma Rear Skid Plates ship as bare steel with no coating applied. Bare steel will rust if left unprotected, so the plates must be painted or powder coated before installation. C4 Fabrication recommends test-fitting the skid plates on the vehicle before sending them for coating, to confirm alignment and fitment first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat areas of the Tacoma does this skid set protect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Rear Skid Plates protect the transmission, transfer case, and exhaust system, including the catalytic converters. A bolt-in crossmember is included specifically to reinforce protection at the transfer case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this skid set compatible with the iForce MAX Hybrid drivetrain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The C4 Fabrication Tacoma Rear Skid Plates are available in a dedicated iForce MAX Hybrid w\/ Automatic Transmission configuration.
