2019 Tacoma Catalytic Converter Anti-Theft Options

Looks good, I have steel RCI skids as well and was contemplating this. How much force do you think it would take to rip one of these off? Could it realistically be done by someone hanging with their full weight and yanking on the unattached side? I know anything can be defeated and the hope is that they will just move on, but curious how it would hold up. Thx

 

I welded both side on the top and bottom , it’s not coming off lol

 

Gotcha. Sorry for the dumb questions, but is that an aluminum piece welded to a steel skid?

 

No its 3/16 steel just like the rci skid

 

Cool, I'm gonna print your post out and take it to a couple shops and see what they would charge for that

 

I have more already cut ready to go , if you brought the skid to me it would be 100 for everything minus paint

 

I’m in menifee

 

Taking offline...sent you a pm

 

My friend just took his Sienna to the dealership for oil change in central Texas. They just got hit - every single truck on the lot. New, used, and customer owned. New cats are 3-4 months delivery.

 

I recently had a dealership in Houston contact me and buy a few plates.

 

Cat Security now has one for the 2WD V6 3rd gen. Just got posted today: https://getcatsecurity.com/purchase-online/ols/products/cat-security-toyota-tacoma-2016-2021-pre

 

Not to sure about the one on the bell housing , seems like a lot to me

 

I was wondering what that was! Seems like overkill.

 

My son had the cat stolen off his accord while parked in a garage on campus at UCSD. I asked the insurance adjuster, who stated her department deals with hundreds of cat thefts per week, how many owners have told her their cat was stole despite having some type of cat theft deterrent on their vehicle? She replied ZERO.

 

I just installed my plate on a V6 2wd Tacoma.

so far my plate fits the 4x4 V6, the 2x4 4 cylinder and the 2x4 v6.

I also managed to ship one off to Canada! That was cool!

 

I put one of these on today. Also skipped the drilling. Considering attaching another bolt on the front end through one of the two big holes. Is yours still not rattling? I'm worried about it only being held on by one bolt on the front.

 

@Taloon2006 will you offer your shield powdered coated?

 

At this time, I am not considering having the plates powder coated.

Most likely you could get it done locally for the same price I could.

 

I have a 2019 Tacoma and I just had my converter cut off a few days ago. They took the passenger side one I assume bc of easy access. I too am looking for a protector.

 

Talon, are these ready to ship if i buy one next Tuesday
