RCI Transfer Case Skid Plate Install | 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Anxiously waiting for my full skid plate package from RCI and rewatching these videos for a quick install whenever they show up.

[@ryanm4013]

Your 4Runner RCI skid install videos are amazing! Helped me out soooooo much

[@SnailTrail4x4]

Glad to help

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Did you encounter any issues on install? Waiting on mine to ship.

[@SnailTrail4x4]

@@VanillaGorilla502 -- nope they are straight forward!

@@SnailTrail4x4 Does this cover the catalytic converter?

[@TheCoachjj3]

Thank you! Just finished my set yesterday with your help!

I have the the RCI engine, transmission, and t-case skid plate package on my 2020 off road premium. It's time to lube my propeller shafts and spiders ann I'm dreading taking two of the plates off to access the area.

[@badfishgood]

I have the same setup, you’ll find that when you wheel through mud and rocks that that crap will get caught between the skid and exhaust. First time it happened I thought I broke something, it can be loud. Once I figured it out I just hosed the mud out and cleared the gap again.

[@SnailTrail4x4]

Awww, good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

[@jimmeyer4530]

I believe that what you called the KDSS bracket is a brake line bracket. My truck has those, and it doesn't have KDSS.

[@SnailTrail4x4]

Thanks, I'll make sure to pay more attention

5 years later…how did the raw aluminum hold up?

[@laxcmc22]

What are the measurements on your cross member? I think RCI sent me a cross member for a taco

[@airup1275]

Have you noticed if it pulls on the bracket or pressure lines that the cross members is bolted to?

[@crs1474]

How much do these affect transmission and TC cooling/airflow?

[@ElJefeTYM]

Great video. What sliders are those?

[@SnailTrail4x4]

They were custom made by Stellarbuilt

[@mattytreks]

The great weight vs price debate...do you guys go with aluminum or steel for your skidsplate? Or a cominbation of both?

[@peterolfert7477]

Mate, we need a video on installing RCI sliders on the 5th gen 4runner...!

[@SnailTrail4x4]

Grab me a set, and I'm sure I can create an install video for you

[@peterolfert7477]

@@SnailTrail4x4 Maybe we get a group buy going with RCI and have them send you a set for the video...

[@bassage13]

There's nothing to it. Just find something to hold them up and bolt them on.

[@JP-gt8qr]

Does this skid plates necessary? I'm genuinely curious. Thanks.

[@commenthero2514]

Oil pan, transfer case imo. I'm still researching that's why I'm commenting on a old ass comment because I dint know shit

[@Unvaccinated100Percent]

No goggles and gloves?

[@wickedreamz8743]

What did you use for the stilts?

[@SnailTrail4x4]

Those are a few 4x4's on top of each other with a plywood top, They are screwed together and there is also some angle brackets. I also have an handle on one side to make them easy to carry.

@@SnailTrail4x4 nice, I like what you did. Gotta go build some myself
