    In your adventures, have you ever hit the low part of the exhaust on anything? I stumbled into the "exhaust relocation" but struggled to find anyone who actually said anything more than "I did the relocation mod" so it's super useless. Anyway, you've got a Taco; does the low hanging exhaust cause you issues?

    I personally have not with either Tacoma. I'm sure one day I might (and I had to have been inches away many times) but so far I never have. One reason people do the reroute is because when you get a skid that accommodates the crossover it adds a pretty low spot on the vehicle considering the thickness of the skid plus the gap necessary between the skid and pipe. My thinking was if I ever hit it I'll deal with it then :D

    Kinda what I was thinking too. I'm just planning the armor and the T case skid is what put me into that rabbit hole. With the front handled by the Pro skid and the transmission likely getting a cat skid from @Classy63 , I wasn't sure if I needed the T case skid that would necessitate an additional modification. Everything will be aluminum this go around as well. Tacos don't handle the added weight as readily as the Tundra does.

    Aluminum is pretty expensive but for people who use it as an insurance policy rather than a hammer it's definitely the way to go.

    I sure miss Walmart being open 24hrs. It was nice to go shopping when I was wide awake in the middle of the night.

    Aluminum is a small increase in cost, but usually about half the weight. The low prices on these are the steel and the highest ones are powder coated aluminum. I'd likely do bare aluminum and rattle can it.

    RCI also has a sale going right now... you know... in case you need skids or sliders... :evil:

    By closing they are saving you money that you can put toward Tacoma mods. ;)

    Another option (what I did the the RCI tundra skid) is spray the skids down with CRC marine (cosmoline based rust protectant.) Don't have to be as strict with prep as paint and held up great after one fall and winter. Obviously if you dislike the look of raw aluminum then disregard.
    But I NEED my Walmart!!!

    I wouldn't be real worried about corrosion on the aluminum. The only reason to paint it would be to change the look. Then again, the Pro Skid is a bare aluminum, but dulled. Maybe just a matter clear or something.... or go nuts and paint it some crazy color. only the smallest bit would show from the side. :notsure:

    I think that'd be a bit much for me. Likely just paint a matte silver or black if I do anything. Just not sure how good raw aluminum would look in the profile view of an orange/red truck.

    @LarryDangerfield yours is Silver Sky, right? You could go raw aluminum and it'd look like it was paint matched. And remember, it's 15% off right now. :devil:

    Cement!!!! Lol, I'm good with the TRD pro imitation for now. The transmission is tucked up pretty high on these trucks and I already just spent more than I planned to. Gotta pick up more overtime as it is without buying more skids :p

    D'oh! :facepalm:

    My brain is not retaining this week.


    As for skids, I kinda had that feeling too, but if I go run Imogene or Black Pear Pass I am pretty sure I'll want full coverage and some sliders. That'll be a long way out, though.

    Man, since popping over to TW to poke around I sure do see a whole bunch more names with the naughty strikethrough in their names. Must be a pretty shit job to try and herd cats over there.
