Built for the Toyota Tacoma (2005-2023) Full Aluminum Skid Plate System, this Backwoods Adventure Mods component delivers rugged durability, precise fitment, and trail-ready performance. Engineered for serious off-road use while maintaining everyday drivability.
2nd & 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma Skid Plates
Our all aluminum Tacoma skid plate system for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacomas are made from beefy 1/4" aluminum and offer great, light weight protection that won’t weigh you down. No rust, no excessive weight, and full undercarriage protection.
This full skid plate system includes an engine skid, transmission skid, and transfer case skid that nest into each other to create one solid piece for full undercarriage protection. In addition, if you have our Backwoods Tacoma Front Bumper, you can also purchase and install our connector plate that covers the gap between the front bumper and the top of the engine skid. The result is a seamless, completely protected front end.
