I know the 4th gen 4R and GX470 are the same part numbers for skid plate and tank. Same with the 5th Gen 4R and GX460. Fuel capacity of the four is same. Both sit in the same location with each using six bolts for the skid plate. I've seen Toyota change part numbers on same part. Either used in a different vehicle or something related to a part changes so the part got a new number as well. I was under the 4R making sure the transfer case oil was okay and noticed how close the fuel skid plates looked.

I am in AZ and rust is a non issue. I've debated mounting the full skid plate and spacing the half skid plate on the leading down just enough to fit. Zero value in half skid plate and leading edge is the area that most likely going to be hit. Plastic tank is relatively cheap but no fun being miles from pavement with hole in the fuel tank.

Not sure on the skid plate, I was speaking about the fuel tank. I wouldn't be surprised if the skid plate shared bolt patterns/shapes.

Here the parts diagrams available on line. Haven't compared side by side definitely different diagrams but skid plates have the same mounting points for the 470 and 460.

Interesting the six mounting bolts for skid plate have completely different parts number.

I think it comes down to support bracket differences between mounting fuel tank skid on a 470 & 460
