The Skid Plate List

[torrent]

For anyone putting together the Greenlane Offroad skid plates with transmission skid plate... the large bolts with the nylocs go towards the rear crossmember. Also, the correct order of bolts/washers/nuts for the long bolt is bolt->small washer->skid plate->large aluminum washer (nonmagnetic) ->crossmember->large magnetic washer->nyloc nut. torque spec is gutentight.

Also, I didn't initially expect to have to take the small plastic trim off in front of the stock skid plate - you definitely do and should do it first ha.

Fuel Tank Skid Plate - Lexus (77606-60270)

https://lexus.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/lexus-fuel-tank-skid-plate-7760660270

Has anyone been able to confirm if the GX550 "Fuel Tank Shield" 77606-60270 fits the US Hybrid LC? If not, I might be willing to order one and try it as long as Lexus would let me return it if it isn't compatible.

Nope, not for the fuel tank. Go to 6:40 in this video for the LC FE underneath shot, and 7:40 for the Lexus LX (GX has the same tank shield).

I got that for the FE the same as LX with a Metal sheilding the entire Main and the Aux Fuel tank.

Seems like you don't have the hybrid FE?

No- This fully Gasoline model with Extra Tank sold in Gulf.

Anyone that purchased the FE OEM skids (front and transfer), did all the necessary hardware come with the new skids? Is there anything else I have to buy?

All the HW comes with the plates. Same with the rear diff plate.

Know where any printable instructions are to install the rear diff? EDIT: NEVER MIND...here they are...

Took a look underneath my used '25 LC Premium and weirdly enough it has the front skid plate and rear diff skid plate. Not sure why they didn't add the transmission skid plate too . Anyway, got the OEM on order to protect the middle section. I'm not planning on doing any serious off-roading just fire road stuff. I'll get some beefier protection if that changes.

I have the front and mid OEM skid plate as well as the rear diff. Are you saying there is another skid that covers from the Cat backwards? If so, do you have that part number?

No, I was saying I don't have the mid skid. I'm not aware of an OEM cat back skid.

Sorry, read your post too fast, I see from your pic you don't have the mid skid. Did you purchase your vehicle new? Wonder if the wrong part was ordered...rear diff instead of mid skid. ???

I bought it used with ~2500 miles on it. The plastic skids were removed but seems like the mid skid never got put on for some reason. I have an OEM mid skid on order. Hopefully it's actually in stock and my order doesn't get cancelled.

 

[Masbirdies]

I just bought front, mid, and rear diff a couple of weeks ago and they came quick.

Mine came off the truck the same way -- upgraded front skid, no transmission or sway bar disconnect shield at all. From the factory it comes with thin shields for all three, the upgraded transmission skid plate replaces those last two. My best guess: when I looked at the Toyota directions, they assume you'll be installing both front and trans upgraded plates. If you follow those directions the first step is to remove all three original shields. That's probably what they did in the port, then only installed the front skid since that was the only upgrade requested. It made me wonder how many LCs are out in the world with no protection at all for the transmission.

I went ahead and ordered the oem skids front and trans. Shore Toyota priced matched the online retailers that were on sale and had them in next day! I Will be installing them soon. They are very nicely powder coated and fairly beefy.

Does anyone know if the factory skid plate works with a diff drop?
