Heavy Duty yet Light weight protection for your vulnerable Lower A-arms
The underbody of your vehicle is one area that is most susceptible to damage when off-road. While some trucks may come with some coverage from the factory, its functionality typically stops at deflecting road debris and very light off-road use. Serious off-road travels require serious off-road protection.
Artec Industries' NEW 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma Lower A-arms Skids are designed to give your vehicle's LCA's full protection underneath the vehicle. Designed using 3D scans directly off real vehicles, this belly pan skid plate ensures that you have a great fit with factory components. Explore with confidence knowing that your vehicle is equipped with the most robust skid plate on the market.
Steel vs. Aluminum
We recommend steel skid plates for moderate to heavy off-road use. Steel construction will handle more abuse than aluminum but comes with a tax in the weight department. For those who are spending more time on the street with occasional light to moderate off-roading, the aluminum option might be the route for you.
Aluminum comes with significant weight savings but will not hold up to the same abuse full steel construction will. For this reason we have provided a healthy compromise by utilizing steel cross-members/mounting bracketry with our aluminum skid plates. You may also choose to create your own skid package by mixing steel & aluminum skids as they are completely interchangeable.
If running a factory front skid plate trimming may be needed to fit these lower control arm skids
