LAND CRUISER FULL ENGINE SKID PLATE

Thanks for that list.
Do know which of the skid plates still mount to the radiator support bracket, and which do not?

Sorry, no.

 

[damenjacobs]

Victory4x4 makes skids. The engine skid doesn't bolt to the rad support.

 

[Onyx]

Sent out email to RCI, Victory4x4, Dv8, Greenlane, C4 and NYTOP to inquire if their skid plate is bolt onto the radiator mount or to the frame. Will report back.

 

[TrailWhale]

Great list, for the sake of completeness you could add the OEM skids as well:

Front - PT228-60242
Transmission - PT228-35241 (Edit: apparently replaced in 2025 with PT228-35247)
Rear Diff - PT228-89254

Transmission appears to be PT228-35247 now.

Neat! That's +6 better than the old one!

Will update response from the vendors when I receive them. I'll try to copy and paste their response for 100% accuracy.
=========================================================

From NYTOP:

They bolt to the frame like the OEM trail hunter ones. (Can anyone confirm OEM trail hunter bolt to the frame instead of the radiator mount?)


From DV8:

Thank you for reaching out. We have only released the belly skid plate that covers from the cross-member back and has the oil drain plug cut out at this time. The front skid plate will be released in the coming weeks and will mount to the radiator support at the center and mount to the frame rail on each end. The back of the skid plate will attach to the cross-member with the belly skid. The front skid plate uses the factory recovery hook mounting points to ensure a stronger mounting point and will be compatible with the factory recovery hooks, so you do not lose recovery points. Here is a sneak peek.

From RCI Offroad:

Thanks so much for reaching out, we are stoked you are considering RCI!
Our engine skid plate for the Land Cruiser bolts up to the radiator support bracket.



From GREENLANE:
Thanks for reaching out. Our engine skid plate for the LC250 bolts to the same location as the OEM skid, on the welded-in crossmember which holds the radiator. Adding the full skid plate helds distribute any impacts very well, and you won't crumple this bracket as you may if you were to take a rock directly to it without the skid plate.

Added ICON and the Lexus skid plates.

Looks like radiator support.

From C4 Fabrication:

The front of the skid plate mounts to a bracket on the frame as seen in the picture below.


(someone who knows the bottom layout well please confirm?)

From ASFIR:

"
Thank you for your interest in our products.

The plate bolts onto the radiator support bracket.


From Victory 4x4:
(they didn't really answer my question, just linked the video to the installation on the new gen Tacoma. The video is actually different than the GX (maybe?0. Looks like it's mounted on the factory recovery point bracket/they call it the outer bracket? Is that the same as radiator mount bracket? Can someone confirm?)

Here is a link to the install video for the 250 engine skid plate.

Regarding the victory4x4 engine skid, we can see here that they mount onto the where the front "recovery" hoops are on the 250 series. Definitely not the same as the lower radiator brackets and much sturdier as that's directly onto the frame. Note: the victory4x4 also covers/protect the cam tab bolts used in a vehicle alignment, which is an added bonus if you ask me. Hitting/damaging those bolts are never fun (ask me how I know).

 

[Onyx]

So far Victory 4x4 looks like the winner here with that info. And the fact that they added a port for easy access when doing oil change.

Does CAtuned plan on making any skid plates?

They do have more 250 products in the works but I don't believe skids are one of them.

PT228-35241 vs PT228-35247 (*247 pics attached)

I don't see any difference
4 bolts come in the baggy

Edit: To add photo of factory label showing part no. And for model.

I wonder if Toyota has done something minor like increase the depth of the drop under the sway bar disconnect.
