Skid plate systems usually involve several plates that nest beneath your vehicle to provide seamless protection. This connector plate for 5th gen Toyota 4Runners mounts behind the front bumper and fills the gap between the bumper and the other skid plates. This .25" aluminum connector plate is only compatible with our Backwoods 4Runner Front Bumpers. It connects the bottom mount of the winch and bumper to the factory skid plate frame mounts, which provides essential protection for the front-end cooler lines.
This kit fits 5th gen 4Runners with or without KDSS. This connector will work with RCI skid plates and potentially other manufacturers, but will only bolt up to our front bumper.
If you have a Warn winch, we include 2 bolts that will sandwich your connector plate, Backwoods 4Runner bumper, and winch. These bolts will thread into 2 of your winch mounts. If you have a different winch, we cannot guarantee our supplied bolts will work. You may have to find 2 bolts that thread into your particular winch nuts.
