About this product
The DRT Fabrication Flat Belly Skid Plate Kit is a completely new approach to skid plate design for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma, focused on one thing: real ground clearance gains and real world performance. The kit replaces the factory transmission crossmember with a high-clearance unit and a flat belly skid system, gaining approximately 2 inches at the transmission crossmember and up to 4 inches at the transfer case.
