2024 LC Toyota Skid Plate Installion

[AndrewTK]

I can't seem to find any of the online parts sellers that have a decent discount AND free shipping. I found good pricing with one and went to check and and it was going to add $452 in shipping.

Where did other find free shipping?

I ordered mine from Olathe Toyota Parts Center in KS, they were $585 for the pair and they only charged $27 to ship it (but I’m also in OK so relatively close). Check their site out and see what the shipping quote is to your location.

I ended up calling my local dealer and getting 20% off and No shipping so I did that.

I think DV8 offroad is also working on something for the front bumper area

They are. They said it should be out late October/early November. I believe @familycruiser250 on IG has a prototype

I think the sway bar plate is protected by the front skid plate IIRC, not the transmission plate. I'd go ahead and install the front, it's easy to pop off to complete the rear plate later.

Running into an issue with the black bracket that attaches to the front. It appears to be making contact with some of the bumper bolts…am I doing this wrong?! Plastic piece was removed to show the contact point.

Those 2 part numbers are the front (engine) skid plate and the transmission skid plate.
I bought both from a Toyota dealer on ebay at a discount vs. my local dealer who didn't have them in stock and wanted full msrp.
Install is really easy. I've taken the front on and off for an oil change and it's not bad at all. There are two bolt keyholes that let you hang the skid plate in place while you get the rest of the fasteners in/out.

Hi there, I have the front plate already attached and looking to add the transmission and diff plates… does the transmission plate slide into the front plate to attach or does it have its own attachment holes? I can’t quite make it out from this picture. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, it slides under the rear of the front skid plate, so you’ll have to undo the front skid plate bolts to install the transmission plate.

Thank you!
