Quick turnaround skid plate recommendations?

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.
 
thanks

They seem easy enough to install if I can find somewhere to act as a ramp
 
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.
 
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.

I think (don't know) the LC/LC and 1958 come with debris covers for the front and Xmsn and they are kinda flimsy. The 1st Edition comes with a front skid plate that covers the Xmsn and a second one that covers the Xfer case.

These skid plates are now port installed options for MY2025.
 
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?
 
The FE skids cover the Xmsn

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

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
 
Upgraded the skid plates + under body shield
Just came back from Dealer.

Parts + installation $1077 on my LC trim

PT228-60242
PT228-35241

Thanks
