Today, I ordered the K&N oil catch can. After reading thru the forum and a TON of reviews, it appears to be a trustworthy product and comprable to the J&L and others, but comes with a 6oz can.
Hope to have it this week and install it over the weekend, along with taping off the resonators and locking open the flap.

You can buy an extension for the J&L one. I added it to mine after one winter and a lot of condensation with the oil.

Yeah, I did see that, but after looking at everything about them, the K&N was cheaper and came with the larger can. $157ish vice 170ish + 45 more for the can.

i will continue to support the little guy as long as we can....
JLT catch cans (oil separators) are owned and produced by J&L Oil Separator Company (J&L OSC).
Originally, the products were sold under the JLT Performance brand, which was founded by Jay Tucker (the "JLT" initials come from his name). In the early 2020s, the oil separator/catch can division was rebranded from JLT Performance to J&L Oil Separator Company, while continuing to sell many of the same catch can products.trailtacoma+1
So if you're asking who owns the current JLT catch can line:
K&N Engineering (K&N Filters) is currently a privately held company that was acquired by Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division in October 2016. [mergr.com], [mergr.com]

When I bought my truck in 2021 the J&L was the only plug and play option that wasn't $350+ and I can't remember what company that even was.

Welp, I was able to get the oil can installed. Simple and straight forward, though the printed instructions could be better.
Also taped off the resonators and put in my new floor mats.

2 things I just did to my truck was add an armrest from Primo Workz. Very pleased with this arm rest as its comfortable and durable.
The other thing I did was add the 1in lift to the front of my drivers seat from Desert Does It. This has made a world of difference in comfort and thats just from driving around town. Everything just feels more natural sitting and paired with the armrest, Im in total comfort. I just wish I had done this before I did my trip from FL to Nova Scotia.
Install on the seat lift took all of 10mins.

Dang, that's a Beast! With more do dads, upgrades and hobby $$ invested. This would be an ultimate find if you ever sold.
Thanks man! I appreciate that! I even had my ECM and TCM unlocked by HP Tuners and completed over 100 tunes on it so far.
