    After way to long, we have it up on our website for sale. I am pretty sure we have these packed in the box, and ready to ship this week. We don't have a huge run of these, and they might go quick, in which case we will make more.

    This combines with our CAT shield to provide the ULTIMATE protection.


    At this time, we have only tested this on a 3rd Gen 4 Cylinder 2wd Access cab truck. Not sure on 4wd fitment or double cab fitment. If you are local to Houston hit us up and we can see how it fits.


    This is 1/4" Aluminum just like our cat shield. Very thick. I know others are selling thinner aluminum versions, but we live under the theory that if a cat thief tries to cut ours off, they are going to give up as has been the case in the past. We also have this rigidly mounted to the frame so there isn't any pulling this down.

    Does it fit 2.7 RC / SC base 4x2 2014? I’ve been looking at the pictures you posted compared to my RegCab and i’m not really sure if it fits

    As of now we have only tried it with a 3rd gen access cab truck. I want to say the biggest thing that changes is the spacing between those two cross members. If you can get a measurement on yours we can better figure out if it will fit

    Hi Talon2006,
    Thanks for making a cat protector for the 2.7 Tacoma! 1/4 inch aluminum is very beefy. It definitely looks like a deterrent. One problem though, the "click here for installation instructions" on the rear cat shield page does not open the instructions. Is there any way you could fix that, I'd like to know how the shield is attached. Thanks very much.

    I have 2016 SR AC 4x4 with manual transmission. I was not able to find any option for my configuration. I purchased at risk "Rear Catalytic Converter Shield /Cylinder | 2016-2023? To fit it into my configuration was relatively easy. Need to drill new holes ~ 3 1/4 from the end to fit correctly for two bolts. See in the pictures

    We don’t have them published yet, we like to let the first few victims… I mean customers suggest edits before we publish them.

    If you email us at the contact us page my wife or Isaac will send you a copy.


    This is awesome! I need to add those holes on the next batch!

    So that means it can fit regular cab / single cab from 2005 - 2014?

    so far we have only tested it on 3rd gen 2wd access cab trucks.

    I don’t want to assume anything untill we have tested it locally.

    Is there anything you want me to measure atleast so i could pitch in on that research? Or does it need to be fit tested?

    Thanks very much. Your wife answered my question about how the rear shield is mounted. I placed my order for the front and rear cat shields yesterday. Can't wait to put them on my truck.
