    Excellent!
    Looks fairly simple to make. Did you use the stock bolts or did it come with longer bolts?
    Weekend project!

    Edit! Sorry I just saw you have security bolts.

    Got my Valhalla shield for my tundra in recently. Pretty happy with it. Probably going to change the bolts to something a little less common for further security.

    I made a install video on my Tacoma. This video covers the install of the cat security plate from Talons Garage. My taco has a TRD pro skid but this video should help anyone with a v6 application having install issues or questions.

    Depends on who your referring to, the one I installed has 10 security bolts. I believe mine is considered theft prevention as they will not want to take the time to even give it a try.

    I have most of the design work done, I mostly just want to get my new equipment setup so I can make them better!

    I’m shootings for 3-4 weeks, but I am also at the mercy of contractors.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Do you suggest the Aluminum or steel? Also, I notice it is not painted, does it need to be painted?

    I only sell aluminum.

    Aluminum does not have to be painted before you install it.

    Aaah ok, my bad. I misread the print. I think I might go ahead and order the CAT protector now and then order the rest of the skids once you get going with them. Appreciate your time. :)

    Thanks for your order!

    we are out of stock for right now, my building is being painted and I don’t want to have people order them without them ready to go on the shelf.

    I should get them back in stock later today or tomorrow.

    Does this offer any protection? I can see one of your cats in the photo.

    Hi- looks like a great product and was thinking about ordering one when they are back in stock. Is there possibly a promo code for TW members:anonymous: ?

    The RCI transmission skid does not prevent cutting off the lower cats.
