    I work out in the city of Westminster, CA which is by no means ghetto. There have been a few techs that have gotten their cats stolen, one of the vehicles was a 06 Tundra. The thief came back a second time on that one, since the first time he was chased off. I can't tell you how many Honda's come in for stolen cats, not as many as before, but still a great number. Not all these victims necessarily live in the city of Westminster, but some in surrounding cities. This is sort of a preventative deal for my truck, I don't want to hassle with some low life stealing my cats, and dealing with insurance, and wasting my time on my days off.

    Just checking to see if anyone got's one of these, it seems like a decent design. I don't know much about the company, but I know these do quite a bit of Jeep stuff.

    Here's a link:

    Alright, guess nobody has this skid plate. I'll share some pictures for anyone that might be interested, it fit like a glove. took less than 15 mins to install as well.

    Nice, I have been looking for something to deter someone stealing my cat. I have had friends get theirs stolen and it sucks. Does it use existing holes or do I have to do some drilling for the install?

    Does it come with all bolt on hardware? And no drilling required?

    Update I just talked to the guy on Fleabay and he said. " It looks like if you have a 4 wheel drive model you don't and if you have a 2wd you have to do minor cutting." So wait a minute you sell it and have no clue if you need to cut or not? It looks like isn't a good answer to me.But oh well just figured I would share.

    Would this thing need to be removed before taking the truck in for routine maintenance?
