    I have been looking at the Greenlane Off-road skid plate and transmission plate. They are made from 1/4” aluminum. The company is located in Victoria BC. I have watched their install videos on YouTube, but I can not tell if the transmission plate will interfere with my Cali Rasied LED catalytic converter shields. I emailed Greenlane and they said that they didn’t have any experience with the shields. Do any of you have experience with Greenlane or how they would interact with the cat shield's?

    I also wonder if both the trans plate and the cat shields together will trap to much heat in the transmission area. TIA

    They sell an add-on to the trans skid portion for cat protection for $125 CAD. Could just go that route and sell your other ones...

    As for heat...I have TRD skid with MillerCAT shields, which have quite a bit of ventilation on the bottom side - I have no heat issues (see photo for reference). By appearance, Greenlane's skid system doesn't have as much ventilation, but that might not be an issue. Can't speak from experience.
