    Looking for a skid for my transmission on my 20’ OR that has an open design to allow air flow to continue up and around the transmission.Similar to the attached picture that is made for a Chevy Colorado.

    Does anyone know if someone makes one for 3rd gens?

    Haven’t seen one before for Tacoma’s. But it doesn’t need one, it doesn’t affect the temp of the trans fluid enough to matter. I have a big 1/4 steel skid and my fluid isn’t any different with the skid on or off, I had a 1/4 aluminum skid before my current steel skid and it was the same story. I have a scan gauge 2 which shows real time trans pan fluid temp and torque converter temp. I’ve also towed a 3k lbs samurai on a 2k lbs trailer truck loaded with camping gear so at least 5.5-5.7k lbs with heavy armor like sliders, full 1/4 steel skids, rear bumper, 285/75/16 full size spare, heavy LT 285/75/16 tires and did that many times on stock gears in the rear end. Highest temp I saw going up the cajon pass was 235 ish degrees while I was full throttle racing my brother in his Truck to the top of the pass. So trust me it doesn’t need the air flow.
