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.

What up Taco Fam?,

Im looking to upgrade my suspension. I hear a lot of good things bout Kings and Fox which both seem to fit my needs. With that said, what would you recommend for the 4th gen taco? My current stock suspension does great and with the Westcott collar lift I couldn’t be more pleased. Overall performance, stance and handling has been nothing but amazing. I would highly recommend the stock suspension with a collar lift if you’re waiting to upgrade to a full new suspension lift. I hope everyone is enjoying their tacos! I know I am.
