FAQ
WEIGHT

1. Will the Cali Raised skids work with the TRD skid plate?

Yes and No. The transfer case, LCA, shock skid, and fuel tank skid will work with the TRD pro skid. The front and transmission skids will not.

2. Does the transfer case skid protect the catalytic converter from theft?

Not a guarantee, but it will make it more difficult for thieves to fit cutting tools in that area. But these were not designed for theft prevention. The transmission skid covers 50% of the catalytic converter.

3. Are they bolt-on, or do they require modification?

Yes, they are 100% bolt-on. You will have to remove some factory items, but they use all existing bolt holes. You can go back to stock at any time.

4. What types of material are the skid plates made from?

The front, transmission, transfer case and fuel skids are all made from either 3/16” thick steel, or 1/4” 5052 aluminum. 100% MADE IN USA, Fort Worth, Texas.

5. For the fuel tank skid, will I need TRD Off-Road fuel tank straps?

Yes, you will. They are designed to use the 4 factory bolts that come with the TRD Off-Road straps. The factory plastic gas tank is susceptible to gouging and slicing. That is what the skid plate protects. However, the tank is also a very thick plastic as is very strong and with the skid plate attached, it can handle a lot of weight.

Trans skid.

These are light weight and very easy to install. I had to mod mine due to mine running the TRD front skid. Still way to do and make it fit. Thanks again Cali Raised Led.

Works, but install was time consuming.

On a 2023 Tacoma TRD OR double cab. One of the back bolts that go through the frame was extremely tight fit on the far side. The factory hole had a factory strut that holds the cat converter in place right next to it. It does not show on the installation video. I never could get the bolt through the supplied square washer to fit flat, and I had to run the truck up on ramps to get at the locknut. (photo available) I could only get an offset box wrench on it at 1/8th turn at a time, and had to bang the wrench off with a hammer every other time. The supplied lock washers at the other end were a pain to get (and keep) aligned so the bolts would go through, but it worked out. It got me over Hurra Pass to Chicken Corners with only a few scratches on the plates, it did it's job on a simple trail. I'd buy it again, but would allocate at least 4 hours for the install, and I'd put it up on jack stands or a ramp right from the start. Much harder/longer to install than the matching engine skid.

Nice skid plate

The skid plate is well made and easy to install. I had to re-align the clip on nuts once it was in place since they slid out of alignment putting it into place.

Made sturdy!

Easy installation and I'm glad there's adjustable slots, I'm not sure what the hole is for because it doesn't line up with the drain plug for the transmission. You can see my finger and the plug is back another 3 to 4 inch and off to the side but other than that it's a good product!!

Solid

The shipping was very quick and item arrived in good shape. The quality is excellent. I should have had it powder coated it. I had to prep and paint them in my garage. Thought was I can touch up as needed. Raw aluminum in the north east and salt don’t work.

Great but could use another option

A big game changer would be if you could get the cross member powder coated and get the plate done in raw aluminum! Would have ordered that!
