Description
After over a year in development and rigorous testing, Scarab Offroad is thrilled to unleash the ultimate Toyota 8" Differential Skid Plate into the offroad market!
Our skid plate is no ordinary piece of armor; it is the first of its kind on the 3rd Gen 4Runner market to feature gusseted integrated u-joint protection, including gussets for maximum strength!
We didn’t just follow the crowd—we set a new standard. Our unique mounting system ensures compatibility with a vast range of vehicles, making traditional designs look outdated and clunky. Engineered for unparalleled durability and performance using 3D scanning technology our skid fits snuggly around your axle housing. Boasting five points of contact and built-in adjustability, its TIG welded (not pictured) 3/16" steel construction can take a beating like no other!
We didn’t stop there. Our design includes integrated water drainage for when you’re door-deep in a river crossing, and easy access to your axle housing’s drain and fill plugs, so you can maintain your vehicle without ever removing the skid.
Simply put, there’s no other differential skid plate like it. Scarab Offroad’s Toyota 8" Differential Skid Plate isn’t just ready for the toughest challenges—it’s ready to dominate.
