Skid plate

Has anyone installed the RCI transfer case skid with the beefier Toyota transmission skid plate? I think it's the only separate transfer case skid in the aftermarket so far.

I'm toying with the idea of running the RCI transfer case skid with the Toyota skids, but it looks like it will need at least a hole drilled through the RCI skid to mount the Toyota transmission plate through it. I called RCI to see if they'd installed it with these and got the generic "it should work cause we design it to run with stock skid plates."

This is where the transmission skid ends:

Green highlights show where RCI transfer skid bolts up. So the blue OE Hardware bolt would have to go through the RCI transfer skid on RH side:

Curious about this as well. Anyone tried this?

Look at Victory 4X4. They sell engine/Transmission skids that are bolt on with no modifications needed. I'm waiting on my set now.
 
I have a 2025 LC/LC that came with the front skid plate, it says Toyota on it.

Was it an option on your window sticker?
Standard proper (thick, shiny, silvery) front skid plate seems to be 2025-specific change. My 2024 LC/LC came with OEM front skid plate made of thin black steel. 2025 LC builder doesn't provide front skid plate option for LC/LC trim anymore, but it is still an option for 1958 trim. Smells like a recent change, I bet early 2025 builder was still allowing to explicitly add nicer front skid plate:

I can’t find a transfer case skid on their site. Their transmission skid stops before the transfer case. Maybe they’re developing one?

I believe they are. Drop them a line on the site. Very responsive and helpful.
