Tacoma Tough: Helping with Miller Cat Skid Plate Tomorrow

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.

I took my truck on a road trip from NWFL to Arrington Virginia for Overland Expo East. This truck is so freaking nice to drive when compared to my last 3rd Gen. The seats are super comfortable and the powertrain is really enjoyable for being a 4cyl. I averaged around 18 mpg. I know that’s not amazing but I have larger heavier R/T tires, a lift, and other additional weight added to my truck.
