    I am a little confused here. Do they make one that can simply be bolted on using some kind of bolt holes already available anywhere down there? This is interesting to me! Thanks!

    I’ve had one of these on my 2nd gen for years (nfab brand that they discontinued) since 2013.

    no heat build up, people on here asked the same thing, there is plenty of air flow, it was only $150 back then.

    Yes they could still take the time to remove the 6 bolts, and get your cats but it definitely would take more time and theives want the quick target.

    I’ve been happy with mine and it has put me at ease all these years. Well worth it!!!

    To be fair, your exhaust in general runs very hot yet people add skid plates without issues.

    I just had to replace all 4 on my tundra and it was $3600. Yeah the plate is definitely worth it.

    Depends on the car/truck. A kid that used to work for me was scaping cars on the side and used to save the cats separately, long story short with a dually bed full of cats he bought his girlfriend an 8k engagement ring and that only took him a few months to acuire! They can go for big money especially when most people can't see underneath to know they paid for new but got a used one.
