I can see why you finally replaced the OEM tank skid plate, it was well used. But I think it's worth noting that it totally did it's job. Sure it was banged up but the tank was undamaged. Overall, this video has made me more comfortable with keeping the light weight OEM skid plate. I will however find something to protect the transfer case, lol.
Bought the RCI gas tank skid after watching this video. Been sittin' in the garage for a month 'cause it has been too cold to do an install. We're putting it on today. My factory GS skid looks a lot like yours.
Funny, I beat the crap out of mine as well. So much so the T Technician invited me into their garage - They never do this 'cause of insurance - to show me the concavity of it. They congratulated me for actually using the truck for the purpose it was built. I'll change out before I head to Argentina.
That was the one skid plate I didn’t use RCI. I just like the C4 design better. I slid off a rock in Moab and my stock skid paid the price for that bad line.
My skid plate rotted off yesterday, well, part of it. This video helped me identify it! Thank you! Can I run my car without it, if I just driving local or highway?🙏🏻💕
Have the RCI skids on my FJ. Much less attach points than the Four Runner. I was shocked when I went to take the factory skid off to find out that it was plastic. It was just starting to crack around the mounting points.
I like RCI stuff, it seems to be very tough. I put full skids on my 2016 4Runner when I bought it in 2017, including tank skid, all aluminum. Got their rock sliders too.
Hey guys love your channel I have a 5th gen t4r that im starting to do offroad mods too. This past summer we went camping in the UP off lake superior next to the Porcupine Mts. We drove to the most northerly point of the UP on a trail I think is on the 7 hour plane crash trail, I wish I had all-terrain tires and better skid plates, just north of Copper Harbor, it was amazing. Did you install a steal or aluminum skid plate?

Love the leg lift on the jack, such talent!

Love RCI, they are literally two miles from us. Not ready to replace skids on my wife’s TRD Pro yet, but RCI will be what we use. They are the best😀😊
They are the best! Nice people too!
RCI is the best. My wife’s roof rack just rocks!! Oh and they are two miles away, so customer service doesn’t suck😊

Suzanne Somers is calling. She wants you in her new infomercial about ThighMaster 2022. 👍🏻
Fuel tank skid was my first and it was a RCI.
I heard a fart at 4.20 🤣
This skid has some kind of adjustability. Before you tighten all the screws & bolts, you can push it about another 1/4 inch higher.

Very durable skid.. we have the aluminum RCI tank skid on our GX460 😃
Cool 👍

RCI stuff is sweet!!
Always helpful and fun!
Glad you think so!
