    I was recently just having some fun in the 4Runner and happened to bend this plastic piece underneath that broke one of the supporting screws out. I don’t know what it’s called and I can’t find the screw that hold sit in if someone could direct me in the right way.

    That's your skid plate. Replace it with an aftermarket one especially if you want more fun. The stock one is cheap tin. Rci makes a great one

    Pinstripes, lots of em. Plus a couple dents.
    The underside of your 2021 limited is the same as my 2019 Off Road. I would recommend you get a full set of skid plates.
    I have Steel Shrockworks Skid Plates on my 4Runner. They are heavy. You might look into aluminum (usually more expensive) if you want lighter weight.

    Agent Outside has a good thread on modifying his Limited. If you dig through page 1 he put RCI aluminum skid plates on his Limited.

    Welcome from Arizona! You might consider a real skid plate if you anticipate off-road fun.

    You just need the engine skid, it's one piece unlike your factory one which is 2 pieces. I have the aluminum one and I love it, the fitment is perfect. I highly recommend the filler plate which is sold separately from them (its about $60 more).
