Front "FE" skid plate: PT228-60242 Trans Skid Plate: PT228-35241. I think if you look at the Toyota website for the 2025 LC, and then look at options or accessories you can also find them.
Quick turnaround skid plate recommendations?

I picked up ramps at Autozone and ordered both skid plates online to install on my own. Still came out ~$500 ahead compared to what the dealership quoted me.
Maybe $490 if you account for the beer shared with my buddy to help with the install.

Find another dealership..
You can check wait times with Greenlane for theirs.. Aluminum, but very stout. Very similar in price to the Toyota ones, and I would venture to say tougher.
These skid plates are now port installed options for MY2025.
I did it without ramps, and it was admittedly a bit of a PITA, but doable.
If you need serious skid plates, look at LFD Offroad plates. I have the steel ones (they have aluminum too) and have been testing them in pretty rough terrain and trails

I’ll stick with FE for now just because I needed it today. Might upgrade iteratively in the future; anyone know if aftermarket trans plates fit with the front fe plate generally?

I mean if I put the FE *
I mean if I put the FE front plate in only (part 60242), might I be able to install the trans skid of, say c4 fab in the future and then further down the line upgrade the front skid

Wow, I just might look into fabricating a reinforcement plate for that area.

If you're looking for a way to unbend it, Wrap a chain around a 4X4 (or like item) and drive the front tires on top of the 4X4, creating an anchor point. Attach a pulley on the chain so that the pulley is right below the point of where you want to pull down. Run a cable through the pulley and attach it to the point you want to pull down. Gently start pulling the cable ensuring the metal is being pulled in the direction you want.

Clever, though admittedly I worry about the welds breaking
Is there anything that you can’t do EOD Guy?

I am also looking to have some kind of steel reinforcement fabricated that will attach to the recovery points; guess I should have just gone with one of the aftermarket’s and waited. Wasn’t keen on not even having a debri shield though
