RCI Metalworks Skidplates on a 2018 4Runner

Excelsior!
RCI Metalworks skidplate set received and installed!

I also used RCI's filler plate for the bumper to radiator gap as the plastic OEM filler is oddly molded and won't fit anymore.

I really like all of the extra protection for the transfer case (which had a useless little tinfoil skid plate bolted to the bottom).

The exhaust crossover clears the skidplate so no rubbing or vibrating issues.

I also like the protection afforded for bolt heads on the lower mounting points.

The longest skid for the transmission has some lengthwise stiffeners.

The engine skid has six mounting bolts as opposed to only four on some other brands
