My 2 week old 2024 TRD OR with 200 miles on it suddenly started throwing numerous malfunction warning and long story short the engine seized due to some oil nipple near the oil cooler blew off and also blew off the oil filter. Engine lost all its oil and died. Truck at dealership since August 30th. I am currently working with Toyota Corp in an effort to be made whole again with a new truck. Time will only tell. I have the whole story on 2 other Tacoma forums. Hoping it's a 1 off freak thing but just adding on to the mounting mechanical issues Toyota is experiencing now.

Installed these engine and trans skids from OKX a couple months ago and really like them so far. I live in a very salty environment so aluminium was a necessity and I want to keep the truck light so the weight savings is a plus. The only thing I was slightly worried about was the strength since I actually wheel my truck and after using them I'm very impressed. They gusset the back of the plate a lot for strength and it seems to work since I plowed into a rock after gunning it while almost getting stuck in mud and all it left was a nice black mark across the plate. Keep in mind this felt like a car crash on the inside and the whole truck bounced up. Their pricing is also great especially for a handmade product in a smaller shop. One of the cheapest alu plates on the market. Also come with access ports for oil changes which I just used for the first time. Overall couldn't be happier with these and love supporting such a cool busines
