Catalytic Converter Protection | MillerCAT Cat Shield

Thanks, just trying to figure out the logistics of installing this in the driveway.

 

Order placed!

 

Good for 2022 SR5 3.5 4WD AT?

 

Let us know if you have any questions along the way!

 

We have the Cat Shield available for your SR5 3.5 4WD in both aluminum and stainless steel here: https://catshield.com/collections/toyota-tacoma-3-5l-4x4-2016-2021

 

Just installed the shield today
Took less than about 1 1/2 and that was with taking 2 breaks to warm up my hands
Worth the money for piece of mind- just cut my neighbors cat out of his element

 

What would lead me to choose one over the other (besides gauge)? Is it mainly a price point thing? Just wanting to understand.

 

Ordered! Thanks for the product, assholes have been rampid around here cutting them off while we are at boat launches...

Sorry, replying late, but yes, I installed in my driveway by myself without lifting the truck. I first used a floor jack and a piece of wood to hold the plate in place, but the floor jack got in the way. I switched to a bottle jack with a piece of wood between to hold it in place while securing it. I had to attack the install from all directions, both sides and the front. The fit is very precise. Had to re-loosen a few bolts to get some of the last bolts in. Just be careful not to strip the bolt heads. I'm very happy with my MillerCAT shield.

 

Got mine installed in under 20 minutes. It really helps to not take the cross bars (whatever they are called) off, instead take the 4 bolts out where you will be putting the shield and loosen the other 4 enough to get a gap to slide into. After that, I slid it in place, put the 4 bolts back in hand tight, got the front bolts in, then went back and tightened everything. Pretty easy install even tho I have no garage and did not use a jack.

 

@MillerCATCorp ordering one today

 

@MillerCATCorp do you have any availability for a 2016 3.5L V6 SR5 4x2 (2WD) configuration for aluminum or stainless steel options? If so, can you link me as well as supply a TW discount code if applicable? Will purchase this weekend!

 

Just to clarify, 3.6L or 3.5L?

 

Sorry, yes 3.5L!

3.6 was a typo. *FIXED in original post*

 

I stared at your post for quite some time trying to figure out if there was a 3.6L haha no problem mate!

My MillerCat has shipped and will install it ASAP.
My mechanic friend installed one on a 3rd get Tacoma for a customer today and he said rattling noise is a possibility.
Anyone notice any added noise after installing these?

 

All quiet here. First thing I did after putting it on was to drive down some washboard roads

 

@MillerCATCorp sending you a PM. Got my package today but it is for sure missing 1 of the shorter m6 screw. Supposed to have 9 and the package came with only 8.
Order # 7513



also just curious, no need for lock washers for the 3 front long screws that bolts to the threaded plate about the cross member ?

 

What are the average shipping times looking like? I realized a little too late that I should probably grab one of these when I move across the country here in a couple weeks, not looking to have my cats stolen while parked at a hotel.
