Catalytic converters cover

Hello , Like to thank everybody for allowing me to join this amazing group.

I just purchased a 2022 Tacoma TRD, and the location where I live a is a lot of catalytic have been missing , is there a cover to prevent those Thieves from messing around.?
thank you

 

Yes.

Several options If you google them

I went with talons garage for mine

several vendors here though

 

That's what I went with too!

 

If you plan on off-roading, RCI makes skidplates and an optional / additional purchase that helps protect the cats.

 

Thank you guys ,
My skid plate is new so I will go with (talons garage) it’s a really nice quality -
Thank you again

 

Excellent choice!
I have it as well and it fits great!

 

then there are these:

the front of those aren’t secured to anything…the rubber grommet is the only thing preventing that piece of metal from clanking nonstop…not a great design

 

you have one?

 

No I went to their website and watched their video.

 

Im sure they accounted for that. but it is your opinion and Im not here to argue.

 

Watched the video too.. it’s just a deterrent . Wonder how long will that rubber plug last due to heat and vibration . A lot cheaper though . It still works as designed. It’s better than nothing in there . Btw I love the talon cat shield. Better deterrent and acts as a mild skid plate too . A perfect match if you have the trd aluminum skid up front . Just don’t do rock crawling .

 

Did you install yourself or take into a shop?

 

Did it myself.

Was about a 30/40 minute job. Probably could be done faster but I was in no rush.

mine was two plates, transmission and transfer case plates on my tundra

 

Made this one out of a piece of "scrap" 1/8" 316 stainless I had found in the shop. I have a CBI steel skid plate up front. So far I'm happy with it.

 

That looks great. Nice work!

 

I went RCI, they are great. But you will need the transfer skid plate as well.

 

Be careful with that. It looks like a Prarie fire waiting 2 happen, once your tub fills with grass and mud.

 

Damn. Nice work.

 

Mild skid plate? Our front and transmission plates for the tacoma share a lot of the same design features as on the bronco, and we beat those up recently!
