Valhalla’s Shield theft deterrent/skid plates info and ordering post

I'll try more starting around 6...

 

Lol!

 

Mine came yesterday and waiting on the dome washers from Rock hard. Looking forward to installing soon. Will post pics when the time comes.

 

No issues at all. Lined up perfectly.

 

MANY orders have been shipped today, I am about to take a break, starting at 5am helps

 

I guess it's a ReadyLift. Let me know if you need better photos.

 

Assuming the second picture has the 3 gold bolts in the middle (it gets cut off the edge of the photo) Order my lifted front cat plate, it will fit this lift

 

I'm sorry about the crappy photo there. I'll look under it again later and report back. I may even attempt another photo assuming the asphalt isn't too hot by then. Thank you!!!

 

I have gone through the orders and compared it to what I have here, and through the cancellations, I have most of what I need to cover all of the orders, the rest I have placed an order to cover the rest and some extras. The 2022 plates are being made next, then back to 07-21 plates. I am pushing hard shipping right now and I am hoping to kill a lot of my back log this week.

 

I used some 180 on my orbital and it worked like a charm. I didn't have to really sand alot, I was just trying to clean up the surface prior to paint. I didn't go back over it with anything finer because this is under the truck and not seen. I sanded and painted mine a year ago and its holding up great. Truck is always outside too.

 

From what I have seen, the very first plates I spray can bed linered are still holding up very well, all I did was use a red scrubby pad with soap and water and scrubbed it down really good and rinsed it off. Impatiently waiting for the water to dry was the hard part

 

Just ran across this....you can see a Tundra owners plate towards the end.

That's so sad.......

 

Back in the day, this guy was on channel 13:



Quite a character...

 

Oh, I remember Marvin Zindler well. “… slime is in the ice machine! …”

Many years ago.

 

So I’m having a local mechanic shop friend install the front and back with the nut plate. Which page of this thread would be the best one to send him the link to just go over it quickly?
DC 21 TRD OR

The instructions above get you in the ball park. Bolt sizes have changed, the square spacers have been eliminated and the nut plate replaces all of the hardware at the back of the pro plate. Remove the bolts (and that pesky lock washer) put my nut plate on top of the cross member and loosely install the 3/8x4 bolts, otherwise follow it and you will be fine

 

It does have three gold tone bolts. Good news! Once they get over the new acquisition costs they plan on ordering from @Classy63 . Thank you for your help!

 

Just wanted to update my situation. My last message to Tyler said to cancel if he could not respond with any information. No response other than a cancellation notification and refund, that was good with me. So I then ordered from Talons, the covers shipped the next day and I received them in a quick and timely manner. Yesterday One of the techs at work installed them for me. Our service manager really liked them, took pictures so he could show customers what was available to them for their trucks. I am very happy to have them and they looked great. So, good luck to all who are waiting, hope your truck is safe.

 

Those plates look exactly like Tyler's except different logos and vents....I hope there is some sort of patent infringement litigation or manufacturing agreement in place.

 

Can I get an update on shipping? We are moving august first and I ordered early may. Order #
R028806380

it’s a full set 3/16 aluminum powder coated

 

Did you install your cat plates without a nut plate?

 

Could have just left it at that...

 

Tag @Classy63 so that he doesn't have to read every single post.

 

And Tyler's are a far superior product! @Classy63

 

Hell hath no fury…

 

Not sure how they are superior since I never received mine so couldn’t look at it but I have no issues with what I did receive. As far as design, all I have seen look similar. All I know is I ordered from Tyler and couldn’t get it so ordered elsewhere and received a well made product. Some people just don’t want to hear facts and other peoples experiences apparently. Have fun waiting and wondering, I no longer have to.

 

Some people are too impatient to wait for Tyler's plates to be made. It's not just manufacturing wait times, it's also material sourcing. As for the Talon plates, there are alot of issues on the 4R side of the house...sharp edges, cracking in the bends, etc.
