Transfer case skid plate?

Is this a skid plate for the transfer case? I thought I remembered people saying that there was no skid plate for it. I have the off-road package btw...

 

That's what Toyota calls it, won't protect much beyond the occasional kicked up rock

 

Okay cool!

 

You'll scrape your exhaust first, so that's a good indicator to stop and back up.

 

Is that why Toyota decided to let the exhaust dangle down like that on an off-road vehicle?

 

Hey... that pic does NOT show a skid plate..

In my TRD Sport, I've got the short one from the front and it covers oil filter, etc, but the OR has a second one that goes back further and covers all that shit in the OP's pic...

Is there any chance that you have a 2WD OR and not a 4x4 OR..?? That might be the the reason for the lack of the rear skid plate..??

Not sure cuz I only got a TRD Sport 4x4... (we get the front plate only)..
