Protect Your FJ Cruiser Fuel Tank

The fuel tank is a large and vulnerable component underneath the FJ Cruiser. When traveling over rocks, ledges, ruts and other uneven terrain, the underside of the vehicle can come into direct contact with trail obstacles.

Damage to the fuel tank can result in an expensive repair and potentially leave your FJ Cruiser stranded on the trail.

The RCI Fuel Tank Skid Plate adds a heavy-duty steel barrier beneath the tank to provide additional protection for FJ Cruisers used in demanding environments.

It's an excellent upgrade for vehicles used for:

• Off-roading

• Rock crawling

• Overlanding

• Trail driving

• Camping

• Hunting

• Backcountry travel

• General underbody protection

Heavy-Duty 10-Gauge Steel

RCI constructs this fuel tank skid plate from 10-gauge steel for strength and impact resistance.

The skid is CNC cut and brake bent to provide an accurate fit around the FJ Cruiser's factory fuel tank and mounting locations.

Approximate Weight: 30 lbs.

Direct Bolt-On Installation

Installation is straightforward and completely bolt-on.

The RCI FJ Cruiser Fuel Tank Skid Plate installs using the vehicle's factory mounting hardware, eliminating the need for drilling or permanent modification.

RCI states that installation can be completed in minutes with the appropriate tools.

Designed Specifically for the FJ Cruiser

Unlike universal underbody protection, RCI-FJ-07-FUEL is designed specifically around the 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Its vehicle-specific construction provides proper coverage of the fuel tank while utilizing the existing factory mounting locations.

For FJ Cruisers that regularly see off-road use, a fuel tank skid plate complements other underbody protection such as:

• Engine skid plates

• Transmission skid plates

• Transfer case skid plates

• A-arm / lower control arm skids

• Rear differential skid plates

• Lower link skids

Together, these components can provide more comprehensive protection for vulnerable drivetrain, suspension and fuel-system components.
