ICON Vehicle Dynamics Lower Control Arm Skid Plate Kit for 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010-2014 FJ Cruiser

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Lower Control Arm Skid Plate Kit is a bolt-on steel armor system designed to protect the lower control arms on 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser builds from rock strikes and trail debris. Fabricated from 3/16" laser-cut steel with a black powdercoat finish, the kit installs without modification and doubles as the lower shock mount locator for the ICON S2 Modular Secondary Shock System. Note: this kit does not fit KDSS-equipped models.

Steel That Takes the Hit So Your Arms Don't

Lower control arms sit low and forward on the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser chassis, putting them directly in the path of rocks, ledges, and compacted trail debris. A bent or cracked arm ends a trip and can compromise alignment and handling on the drive home. The 3/16" laser-cut steel construction of this skid plate kit gives the lower arms a sacrificial shield that slides over obstacles rather than catching on them, reducing the risk of arm failure during rock crawling, trail running, or everyday off-pavement use.

Bolt-On Fit, No Fabrication Required

The kit uses the factory lower control arm mounting points, so installation does not require drilling, welding, or custom brackets. Laser-cut tolerances produce a precision fit specific to the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser geometry, which keeps the plates seated correctly under load rather than shifting or rattling. The black powdercoat finish resists corrosion and abrasion without adding unnecessary weight to the front suspension.

Built Into the ICON S2 Upgrade Path

This skid plate kit also functions as the lower shock mount locator for the ICON S2 Modular Secondary Shock System, making it one of three components required to run that system. Buyers who install the skid plates now can add the remaining S2 components later without removing or replacing this kit. The modular design means nothing already purchased goes to waste when upgrading in stages.

Features

• Bolt-on installation: mounts to factory lower control arm points, no drilling or welding required
• 3/16" laser-cut steel construction: precision-cut for a tight, vehicle-specific fit
• Black powdercoat finish: corrosion- and abrasion-resistant coating
• S2 system compatibility: serves as the lower shock mount locator for the ICON S2 Modular Secondary Shock System
• On- and off-road protection: shields lower arms from rocks and debris in all driving conditions

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This kit suits 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser owners who run rocky trails, crawl technical terrain, or simply want lower control arm protection for off-pavement driving. It is also the right starting point for anyone planning to build toward the ICON S2 Modular Secondary Shock System in stages.

This kit does not fit 4Runner or FJ Cruiser models equipped with KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System). It is not a universal skid plate and is not compatible with other makes or models.

Common Questions

Which vehicles does this skid plate kit fit?

The ICON Lower Control Arm Skid Plate Kit fits 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It does not fit any model equipped with KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System), and it is not compatible with other makes or models.

Does installation require drilling or welding?

No. The skid plate kit is a bolt-on system that mounts to the factory lower control arm points. No drilling, welding, or custom fabrication is required for installation.

Is this kit required to run the ICON S2 Secondary Shock System?

Yes. This skid plate kit is one of three components needed to run the ICON S2 Modular Secondary Shock System. It serves as the lower shock mount locator for that system, so buyers building toward the S2 upgrade can install this kit first and add the remaining components later without replacing it.

What is the skid plate made from?

The ICON Lower Control Arm Skid Plate Kit is fabricated from 3/16" laser-cut steel and finished with a black powdercoat coating for corrosion and abrasion resistance.
