    Around this area, Catalytic Converter theft is dramatically increasing. A 4x4 makes an easy target as it's easy to get under. Anyone marketing a 'shield' or similar theft deterant device for a Taco? Something that does not require welding to the frame?
    Thanks - Clay

    They'll still cut it off easily but hopefully they'll bleed to death trying to carry it out lol

    Then all you have to do is ask the recyclers if they’ve seen any bloody cats.

    Bought 100 feet of razor wire on Amazon and welded it on. Its prime day, might even be on sale!

    Someone should make make thin, hard sheet metal. Like cunt stain tongue glide. So that it can be affixed to the pipe and render carbide useless.

    I'm sure here in CA you'd get successfully sued for it by the would be thief

    You can see the rats nest of wire coming up the street. I don't think the thief would call the cops... Not many legal reasons you'd be reaching up under my vehicle...

    Probably, but criminals no longer get prosecuted, so no need to play nice.

    Props on piqued. Cunt stain tongue glide is the paragon of materials. Ask @tonered

    All kidding aside. As long as there is little to no prosecution, it will be an on going problem.
