In this video, we show you how to install a full set of RCI skid plates onto a 4th Gen Toyota 4runner.

**RCI makes every skid plate imaginable for the 4th Gen 4runner
*Engine Skid
*Transmission Skid
*Transfer Case Skid
*Fuel Tank Skid
*Rear Differential Skid
*Front Lower Control Arm (AArm) Skids
*Rear Lower Control Arm Skids
*AC Condenser and Radiator Skid (RCI calls it their "Bumper Filler Plate")

RCI offers these skids in Aluminum or Steel. Aluminum is MUCH lighter than steel but it's not as durable. If you're looking to save weight and are ok with the lower durability of aluminum, it would be the way to go for you. Steel is stronger and more durable, but you'll be adding a significant amount of weight to your vehicle.

In this video, we installed mostly aluminum skid plates for Nate. Because they were Aluminum and very light, they were very easy to install. With Steel skid plates, you'll have to use a jack to assist you getting them in place and bolted up. We recommend a transmission jack because of the much wider and stable base it offers, but a traditional jack will work as well. With the traditional jack, you'll just have more work getting the skid plates properly balanced onto the jack plate.
