Massive Front and Underbody Protection for the Toyota FJ Cruiser with MorE 4x4 Steel Front – Highly Effectively Protects Your Offroader's Engine, Front Axle, and Steering Linkage!

The MorE 4x4 aluminum combination skid plate for the Toyota FJ Cruiser (suitable for all model years from 2006 onwards) offers high-strength, extensive protection for the most vulnerable mechanical components on the underside of the vehicle's front. This skid plate covers three essential components simultaneously: the engine (incl. oil pan), the front axle differential, and the susceptible steering linkage with the tie rods.

With its distinctive retro design and robust Land Cruiser base (J12/J15), the FJ Cruiser is an extremely popular vehicle for overland tours and demanding terrain. However, those who drive the Cruiser as intended will quickly push the limits of the original, thin covers. Since the vehicle has an independent front suspension, the front differential housing and the sensitive steering components are inherently unprotected in the potential impact area. An inadvertent impact on sharp rocks, massive tree stumps in the forest, or hard bottoming out in deep ruts can irreparably bend the tie rods or tear open the engine oil pan – leading to immediate oil loss and catastrophic engine damage.

This vehicle-specific 3-in-1 underbody protection perfectly closes this critical safety gap on the underside of your FJ Cruiser. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this skid plate can be mounted completely independently and separately, without necessarily requiring the remaining plates of the underbody system to be installed.

⚠️ Important compatibility note: This skid plate is specifically designed for use in combination with the MorE 4x4 steel bumper (model OM-Z022). It connects perfectly to this winch bumper, forming a closed, aerodynamic ramp at the front of the vehicle. It fits all model years and engine variants of the FJ Cruiser (4.0L V6).

💡 Important note on product images: To show you the complete course of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos show multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery of this item includes only the front engine, differential, and tie rod skid plate. The other skid plates (for transmission, transfer case, etc.) are not included but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your Advantages at a Glance:

• Perfectly vehicle-specific: Tailor-made for the Toyota FJ Cruiser (from 2006) – suitable for all model variants.

• 3-in-1 protection area: Highly effectively protects the engine, the front axle differential, and the complete steering linkage (tie rods) from mechanical impacts and frontal collisions from below.

• Optimized for the MorE 4x4 front: Seamless transition to the MorE 4x4 winch bumper OM-Z022 – prevents branches, dirt, or mud from getting caught behind the front.

• Lightweight & extremely robust: Made from high-quality, 6 mm thick aluminum. This offers the ideal balance of uncompromising stability for tough off-road use and minimal additional weight for the front axle.

• Easy Plug-and-Play Installation: No drilling, cutting, or welding on the vehicle required! The included mounting kit uses only the original factory drilled holes and threads in the massive ladder frame. Reverting to the production state is possible at any time without any problems.
