    None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!
    Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term "armor", doesn't it?

    Looks like a great alternative if the OEM one will take months to arrive. But these cats seem a little smaller than OEM. Based on personal experience, when I got my old vehicle's cat changed because it broke, the garage used a third party and it was smaller. I felt a big difference in acceleration and speed. I was never happy with my car after that.

    What you could have done was to ask the insurance for a check, and use that towards an OEM ...

    I would guess lifted would be the majority of the members.

    OP is long gone, but he left this behind as one of his install pics:

    I have the RCI engine skid, and it would seem that what is shown above (as far as I can tell) is the RCI engine skid with the rear of it on top of the Talons cat shield, so I would assume these integrate without a problem. Has anyone else installed the Talons cat shield with an RCI engine skid? I still have my oem skids, and considered putting those back on, but I am not a fan of this look:

    Hence the RCI engine skid compatibility question...

    I can confirm compatibility. I had it installed with the RCI TRD Integration plate for a short while until I replaced the cat shield for the RCI trans skid and cat guards. The RCI Integration skid has the same rear section as the RCI engine skid.

    Thank you. I would go for the RCI trans skid and cat guards, but too pricey for me.
