Rear Lower Link Guards, by Metal Tech 4x4

Fits Toyota FJ Cruiser and 03-24 4Runner

Protect a Known Weak Point on Your Frame

The rear lower link mount is one of the lowest-hanging and thinnest areas on the FJ/4R frame. Repeated rock strikes can dent and bend the mount, and over time that damage can lead to cracking. These guards add 3/16" steel reinforcement and a full wrap-around design to protect the mount and help prevent costly frame repairs.

Why You Want These

  • Full wrap-around protection around the factory lower link mount
  • Adds 3/16" steel to reinforce a vulnerable frame area
  • 100% bolt-on install (no cutting, no required welding)
  • Optional weld reinforcement on the rear “tail” for maximum strength
  • Grade 8 hardware included with Nyloc nuts

Designed for Real-World Rock Hits

When your FJ/4R drops off ledges or slides over rocks, the lower link mounts are frequent contact points. These guards spread impacts across a larger area and add rigidity to help resist denting, bending, and cracking.

Bolts Aren’t Created Equal

The included bolt kit is not just another bag of bolts. These are US-made Grade 8 hardened bolts paired with Grade 8 Nylock nuts. The self-locking design helps prevent hardware from backing off after hard hits and rough miles—because we’ve seen what happens when rigs run standard hardware without locking and hardened upgrades.
