    I got email yesterday with Fedex tracking...they should get here by Thursday, thanks!

    I might just go back on base and use the lift again (for security bolts swap) THIS WEEKEND to get updated pics of my Talon Cat plate.

    To those of you talking about getting a Full skid plate package VS My cat plate....

    Lets just say I have something in the works. My cat plate is 1/4" Aluminun, which is the same thickness as both RCI and CBI's skid plates too.

    Interesting, does the cat plate design remain the same or would that change slightly too? Guess my overall question...if I have the TRD plate, wait or just buy now?

    I would think my full RCI skids would certainly slow cat thief's down but ugh that would piss me off.

    The Talon CAT plate did bolt on properly with the TRD Pro Skid Plate and Eric has a video (on this thread) showing the fit check.

    Check post# 205 on this thread for video install.

    Oh yes, I saw that fit. Just wondering if it'll change at all between now and future state. Just wondering if it'll change to fit into the notch vs underneath the trd plate similar to the cat security or even CBI rear plate

    I'd buy one pretty quick of it didn't have to sandwich between the TRD plate and frame and it bolted neatly in the TRD plate notch. But I'm probably a minority, and I wouldn't not buy one as it currently is made. I'm just being ocd.

    My security bolts are in Seaford, DE out for delivery today!

    Also, I got the spacers to fit test.

    EDIT: If I get everything to finish the job, I'll go on base either today or tomorrow and take photos. Last resort is Saturday morning.

    Security Bolts arrived!

    Since I'm off work at 2:30pm, I can pop by the Auto Hobby Shop on base and see if a stall with lift is available.

    Talons Garage cat security plate delivered yesterday. Installed today with security bolts. The kit had all the washers needed. Install was easy. Peace of mind established.

    I just hope my skids are enough deterrent.

    I'd rather have the plate sandwich than drill holes in the frame...so Talon would be my choice!
