Transfer skid plate for 2.7L

Hi, so apparently transfer case cross member is not in same place on 2.7L 4cylinder vs 3.5L V6 on these trucks.

Does anyone make full skid plates from engine to transfer case for 3rd gen 4 cylinders?

 

They are all compatible with V6 and the 4 cylinder. So any company that makes Skids for the 2016+ Third gen will work with your truck!

 

I just called RCI, they sad only their engine skid plate fits, trasnfer case cross member is off by 2 inches so full skid plate package won't fit.

Also their rocksliders only fit V6 because they use T case cross member as a mounting point.

 

That's strange, I had a TRD Aluminum skid on my 4 cylinder and it fit perfect! I guess each company is different.... Never had any RCI Products but will be buying some shortly for my new Tundra!

 

Transfer case skids for the V6 never fit the 2.7L 3rd gen models because of the different transmission cross member

 

So yea my questions stands, anyone makes them? Or I have to pay pretty penny for custom fab work ?

 

OK Expedition up in Canada makes them I'm pretty sure they have aluminum version too if you want to keep the weight down on the 4cyl.

But shipping and duties etc to USA would be a bitch

 

Sadly on their website https://www.okexpedition.ca/2016current-toyota-tacoma/2016-tacoma-2pc-expedition-package only 3.5L is compatible.

 

Weird, I've contacted them about this very thing before and they told me they make them for the 2.7L gen3 and would only need updated measurements of that infamous crossmember clearance off a 2.7L model.

Guess they're still waiting on a 3rd gen 2.7L driver to bust out the tape measurer.

 

I'm

I've been looking for skids and sliders for months, now. The stupid crossmember fucked everything up, so I gave up, and I'm just going to make my own. I'm starting with the skid plates, and maybe later I'll do the sliders, if my balls get bigger and I decide to try my luck at making the bolt-on brackets that fit 4cyl.

 

I’m just getting trd skid plate and fabing rest.

Demello rocksliders fit 4 cyl (but require drilling a hole in the frame), weld ons probably is best.

I think cali raised sliders fit too they have wide enough opening to fit bolt on cross member.

 

As long as your truck has 4 Wheel drive, Your truck will work. PM us if you have any other questions.

 

So cross member being 2 inches off should not affect it?
