    If you're taking your Tacoma off-road, underbody protection is a must. Cali Raised LED offers a complete line of bolt-on skid plates for 2005–2023 Tacomas, covering everything from the front crossmember to the fuel tank. Built in Texas and trail-tested, these skids are designed to handle serious abuse while maintaining a clean, factory-style fit.(Cali Raised LED, Cali Raised LED, Cali Raised LED)

    Key Features:

    • 100% Bolt-On Installation: No cutting or drilling required; uses factory mounting points.

    • Material Options: Choose between 3/16" steel for maximum strength or 1/4" 5052 aluminum for lighter weight.

    • Finish Choices: Available in raw or black powder coat to match your build.

    • Made in the USA: Manufactured in Fort Worth, Texas.

    • Modular Design: Protect individual components or opt for full coverage.(Cali Raised LED, Cali Raised LED, Cali Raised LED)

    • Transmission Skid Plate: Shields the transmission housing.

    Do the rear shock skid plates come with rooster guards (to protect the piston rod on racing shocks)? If so, would they have enough offset to work with 2.5" shock bodies? There currently is no rooster guard option on the market for 2.5" shocks, that would work for all shock brands (e.g., Kings on works with Kings shocks).

    These shock guards have a removable extension. We strived to ensure these shock guards would be universal fit for all shocks and that is why we made this a 2pcs design. These should work with the 2.5" Body. As long as there isn't a reservoir mounted directly on the shock itself that would come in contact with the extension pc

    My apologies, I posted this question in another thread but didn't see this one.

    1. What are the weight specs for each skid piece?

    2. When will aluminum be offered?

    Skids look awesome!

    Aluminum is offered in a week or two. I just updated the form post with the specific weights of each plate. Look at the bottom of the original

    Any thoughts on how much the aluminum front will be, shipped to Hawaii? 96768? I'm actually interested in the sliders as well (DCSB), maybe you could message me how much shipping runs on those too?

    Thanks!

    Aluminum would be a little more expensive. We have two different types of sliders as well. Trail edition and step edition. We will know the price of aluminum by early next week and then they are available for purchase next week as well.
