Off Roading in the heat

Last year, I helped a friend put a Miller Cat skid plate on his Tacoma. It took us about 30 minutes to do it by ourselves, even though it was an easy one-man job. Probably because of the beer breaks we had in between, haha. We started off by lifting the truck. We then took off the weak cardboard piece with a wrench, put the skid plate in place, and fixed it tightly. That was it. The steps are as straightforward as this, and we only used simple tools. Pictures below are from last year after his installation. Tomorrow, I'm set to help another friend set one up on his Tacoma, the same easy way. I've done it before, and I'm eager to see his truck get that tough bottom cover. The Miller Cat's strong build is great for trail-ready Tacomas, and I know he's really excited to nail this install, because it'd be his first DIY mod too.

How many of you have been in 100 plus degree weather on the trails? Im honestly not a big fan. I tested out the taco in some insane amount of heat up in Joshua Tree and I was impressed how much the truck handled with ease. The truck was forsure working over time on the trails, but no over heating issues at all. Have you guys had any issues with overheating?
