    So...I looked through this entire thread and I'm somewhat confused as to what "bolt on" market options are out there, specifically for my needs in catalytic protection. I have a 2022 2WD with the 4 cylinder engine. And it is really easy to slide under the vehicle. Someone please give me the links for market options.

    I was outside your house the other night. That sawdust was pouring out your bedroom window.

    Ordered the RCI transmission skid and cat guards a few weeks ago. I suspect the tax sale has them swamped in orders.

    Talon's was a strong option too but I went local.

    Living on a busy road and no garage option I suspect it's just a matter of time before someone scopes it out.

    I'm thinking about going with the Miller. I know it's thinner but a good bit cheaper with included security bolts and free shipping. There's also discount codes floating around for them.

    Any Talon discount codes for TW?

    6112/5160s with Icon stage 2 leaf’s.
    I’m planning to order the MillerCat for my truck soon.
    I just now had the thought to engrave something like “Stolen, call police” right on the cats. I wonder if that is even possible.
