CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELD FITS 2016 - 2023 TACOMA

Yes they are. They make them in Texas.

 

Weird.... thought they are the same company and would source from the same place.

 

I thought so too but I had LED check my order number and they said i'd have to check with OFFROAD because they are too different companies even tho they sell the same product. For some reason, LED is having issues getting the shields from OFFROAD in Texas.

 

Cali Raised LED (Us) is located in Fort Worth Texas and we manufacture all of our products here in Texas. Cali Raised Offroad is a separate company that is a dealer of our products located in Southern California. As yall know we are backed up on the production of that product which causes delays.

 

Here is a cool video of our cat shield!

Any chance on a version for us MT folk?

 

Thanks for this. I will hold out or probably just go with the MillerCAT.

 

I installed the shields on my 2wd v6 today and the passenger side fit perfectly, the drivers side I am not able to get the black rubber piece to line up where it sits touching the truck. The bolts and security screws are all aligned correctly. Has anyone else installed on a 2wd v6? If so are you seeing the same?

 

I don’t think it matters as long as all the bolts are tight!!

 

I had to put some spacers on my security bolts to get it off the cat. My rubber bumper just hangs out in space now… no contact at all.

 

Did I miss something? Why are you concerned about a metal shield getting hot from the cat?

 

Mine was pressed up against my cat too, so I added a couple washers to make some space also. But I was more concerned with the cat and shield rubbing against each other, and what kind of wear and noise might come from that, especially over the next 20 years or so (I plan to keep my truck for the long haul). Cats already get so hot too, I figured they probably don’t need anything pressed up against them, possibly making them even hotter.

 

It rattled pretty bad. Annoyance factor was too high.

 

How many washer did you use and what size?

 

I’ll check thickness when I get back home today. I picked up some nylon washers from Ace a while ago. Probably 1/4” +- a little.

 

Single washer on each security bolt on the driver’s side. 3/4” OD and a wee bit over 3/16” thick. ID enough for the bolt, around 5/16” if I remember correctly from the garage to my warm butt spot on the couch.

 

Installed today. This section is touching the cat on the driver side. Will this cause any issues?

 

I don’t know, but mine rattled and I couldn’t deal with that. Mostly when cold or backing up.

 

Even with a washer between the shield and the cat?

 

It’s all good now.
