Rasta Skid Plates

Full Rasta Skid Set

In building our Toyota FJ Cruiser up for off road adventures I have worked hard to keep the weight down.  Our initial build included steel skids from All Pro Off Road which have protected the bottom of our FJ from trail damage very well. However, in an attempt to reduce the weight of our bolt on gear I contacted Rasta4X4 about trying out a set of their aluminum full skid plates.

The front skid is designed to bolt on to the stock bumper and needs to be modified for use with aftermarket bumpers. For my All Pro Off Road front bumper I cut the section of the skid plate off (see photo). I also bent the front section of the skid up so it will fit under the finishing plate on the bumper. (I bent the skid by cutting it part way through and will the skid welded over the cut)

Once this modification was made the plates bolted on with a perfect fit. Total time spent installing the skids was about 1.5 hours.
