Expert Reply:
According to the installation instructions for Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31367, the front skid plate on the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser does not have to be removed at all for hitch installation. I have included a link to the instructions for reference. I have also included a link to a video showing installation on a 2008 model.
The 2008 and 2010 models are part of the same generation meaning there are little to no changes between the 2 models. In the video, the skid plate is not removed. You can actually see the skid plate in parts of the video. The hitch attaches in front of and above the location of the skid plate.
