CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELD FITS 2016 - 2023 TACOMA

I had my crossmember bolts all the way forward with the nuts right on the ends. They were sticking out a good half inch or so. If you don't pull these forward enough the wing tabs have trouble aligning. After that, I followed the exact same bolting procedure as the video.

 

Just installed mine. and now I have peace of mind.

 

Took mine back off cause of the rattling. Reached out to Cali and they sent me a link to fill out a form. Wanted pictures for proof of shields. Mine were bought back in late December. Will see how it goes.

 

I bought mine in the same timeframe as you. They swapped mine a week ago with absolutely no problems at all.

 

So far no rattling on mine nad just installed it 2 days ago.

 

I ordered mine on March 3rd. 3-4 weeks lead time was what the website said. It has now been almost 5 weeks. No message that it will take longer, nothing about when I can expect what I've already paid for over a month ago. I reached out to support only to wait for half an hour for nobody to show up in chat, just a little message that they will be responding over email.

UPDATE FROM CALIRAISED:

Hey Justin,


We apologize for the delay, we had received a huge influx of orders on that item and we are trying to keep up with the demand. The manufacturing team just received our materials for the product and it is getting cut and bent as we speak. They are getting that processed and you should be receiving tracking info in the next few business days.


Thank you for understanding

 

I ordered Feb 21 and I just got an order shipped notification, should be here Saturday. Hoping all is good to go.

 

Great to hear, but curious, did you install v1 or v2? TIA!

 

I got one of the first new units that has the missing bends but with the updates instructions I was able to get them mounted and so far seem to have no issues.

 

Good job! No rattles, nothing’s touching the cat?

 

Nothing touching and no rattle I've noticed yet.

 

Great. Thanks for that.

Ours have been delayed but are supposed to be here tomorrow now. Looking forward (sort of) to getting things resolved.

 

SKILLZ!!! Nice work

 

Edited out

 

Did you install those without lifting the truck up off the ground ?

 

I ordered some just now.

 

If anyone wants to give away any my way. I'd like to have a set to modify to adapt to a manual transmission truck if possible.

 

Interesting, looks like the same metal lengths, just not the fully completed bend. Good ole hammer trick may solve that one lol.

 

Hopefully by Monday I will let you know how smoothly it went. With Easter tomorrow only option is to work on it Monday morning. Also with the new ones they are not sending the hardware other than the security bolts which makes sense to me.
