What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

It’s not my truck but I helped install a LT kit on my friends Tacoma over the weekend. Jd fabrication +2.25 wide with 934 axles.

Where did you get the oem aluminum housing from? I just did some looking around and the one that’s about $30 appears plastic in the pics, but it looks like the same part number as the one that looks aluminum in other pictures.
Sorry for the late reply. I was camping in the middle Cameron County, PA.

I got everything from Amazon. I got the filter and housing kit. It comes with a tool for the filter housing and I didn't know about the Motivx tool and kit (link below) before I purchased it.

I also installed the Engine and Transmission skids from OK Expedition. They came as a set for $690 (US dollars as this company is from B.C. Canada) total, including taxes and shipping, it was one of the best priced sets in ALUM I could find. While they are built entirely out of ALUM, these babies are very solid and are constructed to take a beating (see last pic for underside construction).

Strong doesn't have to mean heavy. Our Skids are reinforced to give the protection you want, without excess weight.  #madein🇨🇦

They look well made.

They totally are. The middle stiffener plate, front gussets, and front attachment angle are all legit and everything is 1/4"; not to mention the welds look and are amazing! Total of 40#'s for both skids, so that helps with the other weight I have on the truck already (front & rear steel bumpers, steel sliders, winch, snugtop cap, prinsu cab rack, and last but not least 200#'s of doggos). Suspension, tires, and re-gear is all that's missing :ROFLMAO::cry::ROFLMAO:
 
Not my Tacoma, but a rental. I was in Nevada for work, and managed to squeeze in a trail ride. This is just outside of Virginia City.
