Hi everyone. Anyone find/ have any experience tracking down a proper skid plate for the fuel tank? Much to my dismay looking underneath it looks like only about half of it is protected by a factory plate. this is a real shame given that the GX550 looks like it gets a full skid plate from factory.

C4 has one "on the way", but I haven't seen any others specifically for the 250 yet. I just installed the Toyota skid plates myself, but hope they add one for the fuel tank soon too.

I know for a fact the GX550 fuel tank skid is not a direct bolt on for the LC! It's close but will have to be bent in order to clear the LC fuel tank. Additionally the mounting brackets/legs for the GX are in different locations and the LC does not have threaded holes where the GX brackets land on the LC frame. There are holes in the LC frame that are close but not exact.
I've asked both RCI and Victory 4x4 about one and RCI said its "in the works". Victory 4x4 said 2nd qtr. this year. I bought all victory 4x4 skids and they've been really good quality, in house powder coating, and shipping was free so I'm waiting for that one.
Greenlane also has a transfer case/fuel tank skid plate coming in the next month or so too.

This is great as I think they are Canada based! I reached out to them on Instagram a couple weeks ago but did not get a response.
Yeah they have been very busy as they are a smaller shop. I am awaiting an order from them at the moment but they do answer emails.
