Catalytic Converter Theft

Not sure what year T you have. Valhalla has option to cover front and rear as does Talon. MillerCat has option to cover front and rear, however, rear is only for 2018+. There is a video on Youtube showing you have to install the 2018 rear option by drilling hole in frame to attach so there is that option too.

 

I have a 2021 SR5 4 X 4 Tundra Trail Edition

 

I think you can find front and rear here:

Finally got the estimate for the dealer service department for the repairs for the stolen cats and the damaged fuel lines (had to call the insurance company to get the estimate): $8,085.95! Now I have to wait 4 more days for the insurance company to do a "virtual" inspection. Meanwhile, no rental coverage (the only vehicle on my policy that ain't got coverage). As long as the weather holds out, I guess I'll have to ride the Harley...

 

I hate when i feel like i _have_ to ride the bike - then as soon as i dont _need_ to, i want to hahahaha.
Good luck on the ins inspection!

 

I got the CCM shields because they didn’t have a wait time. They seemed well built and definitely cover everything.

 

Anybody running a TRD Pro skid plate having trouble getting the nuts on the front of the CatSecurity shield?

May have to take the wings off, temporarily.

Edit: I had to remove the driver's side wing shield, and then I could reach the nuts on the front of the shield. There's just enough wiggle room to get the side shields out and back in.

 

Just got my truck back from the dealership today after being held hostage for 40 days. State Farm wouldn't pay for OEM converters. The service department told me the fuel lines were on nationwide back order. After two weeks of no action from them I got the part numbers they had ordered, got online and on the phone with at least 5 dealerships and found the two fuel lines. I paid over $225 in shipping for UPS to ship them from Florida to north Texas. They bounced around for 5 days between Arlington to Fort Worth to Lufkin, back to Fort Worth, then on back to Arlington when I finally called and requested customer pick up for an additional $8 and was told I'd have to wait another day so they could be sent back to Fort Worth. I was able to pick them up today and take them to the dealership in Grapevine only to pull them out of the box with one of them being bent out of shape. Thankfully the tech was able to bend it back in shape and I got my truck back hours later. I probably could have fought State Farms denial of OEM converters, but I just wanted my truck back. And I figured waiting on OEM could take even longer. I feel Flow Master cats from O'Reilly's are a recognizable brand name. And, I've always had good fortune with auto parts from O'Reilly's. Next thing to do is find a new insurance company, stay the hell away from that Toyota dealer in Grapevine, and avoid UPS if possible. Now I need to win the Powerball to pay off the debt I've accrued from buying an old salvage titled F-150 and getting it fixed up enough to get registered and on the road and replacing my Harley battery last week.

Borrowed the lift at my place of employment's shop yesterday and installed my new converter shield from Addautomotive.com and really like the product! It was easy to install and looks like it would deter a potential thieve!

 

The rear cats look exposed to a saw with a long blade. May be the angle of the pic but I would be concerned.

 

Agree, but at least the fronts are protected.
