4Runner 4th Gen — TRD 5th Gen Skid Plate Adapter Kit

The Community Mod. Now Done Right.

Fitting the Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen TRD skid plate onto a 4th Gen has become one of the most popular upgrades in the 4Runner community — the 5th Gen TRD skid is a significant upgrade in coverage and protection over the 4th Gen factory skid, and enthusiasts have been making it work for years. The problem has always been the mount: improvised solutions, welded brackets, drilled frames, and hours of fabrication just to make it fit.

The DTR FAB TRD Skid Plate Adapter Kit solves that. A purpose-designed adapter bracket that mounts the 5th Gen TRD skid plate cleanly onto the 4th Gen frame — no welding, no drilling, no fabrication required. Everything you need is in the kit.

What’s Included

• DTR FAB adapter bracket — precision-designed to bridge the mounting point differences between the 4th Gen frame and the 5th Gen TRD skid plate
• Complete hardware kit — all bolts, nuts, and fasteners required for a clean, rattle-free installation

Clean. Reversible. No Permanent Modifications.

• No welding required — fully bolt-on installation
• No drilling required — uses existing frame mounting points
• Fully reversible — remove the adapter and return to stock configuration at any time
• Complete hardware included — no additional parts needed
