Backwoods Adventure Mods

Full Aluminum Skid Plate System 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma · Rust-free aluminum skid system

SKU: BWTT3A-8710

By: Backwoods Adventure Mods

Authorized Backwoods Adventure Mods dealerFactory warranty honored · Fitment help from people who run this gear
$999.00

This full skid plate system from Backwoods Adventure Mods covers the underside of 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 trucks in double cab and access cab form. Engine, transmission and transfer case skids overlap into one continuous shield, so rocks slide along the belly instead of catching on gaps.

The plates are cut from 1/4 in aluminum, which won't rust and keeps the full system to 77 lb, while the crossmember is heavy-duty steel. A removable door gives you access to the oil drain, and drain holes let water, mud and air pass through. It ships in black powder coat, not raw as some photos show, with Grade 8 hardware.

Install is 100% bolt-on. It does not fit 2WD Tacomas or trucks with a diff drop kit. If you run a Backwoods Adventure Mods front bumper, an optional 7 lb connector plate closes the gap to the engine skid. Trucks that keep the front sway bar alongside Backwoods Adventure Mods frame brackets and reservoir shocks may need light trimming at the skid's top ears. Backwoods Adventure Mods covers the structure with a lifetime warranty, and we ship it free within the contiguous U.S.

Questions we get

Will it fit my Tacoma?It fits 2005–2023 Tacoma 4x4s in double cab and access cab. It doesn't fit 2WD trucks or trucks with a diff drop kit.
Does it come raw like the photos?No. It ships in black powder coat at no extra charge.
Can I change oil without removing it?Yes. A removable door on the engine skid opens up the drain.
Will it work with my BAM front bumper?Yes, and an optional 7 lb connector plate closes the gap between the bumper and the engine skid.
Any clearance issues?If you keep the front sway bar and also run BAM frame support brackets and reservoir shocks, the sway bar may touch the top ears of the engine skid. Light trimming fixes it.
