Welcome to Talons Garage!

P.s. we are about to put another batch of 10 gauge powder coated 2022 tundra plates back in stock. They will likely ship Monday/Tuesday. (But read that we have a 2 week lead time Advertised just incase)

I just used the last of the powder we have, so I am waiting on a new shipment.

 

My wife made a way back Wednesday post that I wanted to share here. It was the support of several of you that helped us grow, and stop scratching my wife’s floor and walls! It’s also cool be reminded how much nicer our plates are now, vs when I was still cutting them on a cnc plasma, and using a hand sander to finish them.

Also, feel free to check out our Facebook page!

 

You guys rock got my shield here quick!! Got a steel one !!!

 

Glad to see you got it on! Feel free to keep me updated on how the powder holds up. We are testing our current recipe, but if it sucks we will make changes.

On another note: Our first 2007-2021 Shield is going in the oven now.

I am very interested in one, Do you know if they would work with RC engine skid plate?
I currently have RCI engine and transmission/transfercase skids, they are the non-cat protection version, I know RCI came out with the addition of the wings to the transmission/transfercase skids but I think I prefer the one piece design of yours if it fits/works with the RCI engine skid.

 

There was just another thread on this. They will work together, it is a little hard to get to the front bolts to tighten them down but totally doable. Are you wanting Aluminum or steel?

As soon as I get my hands on a TRD pro Tundra plate I am going to scan it and make a nut plate. I might just buy one to do it. That will make the install easier.

 

Definitely will let you know in couple of weeks!

 

First plate going in.



They are on the website in stock now.

 

My Aluminum Plates were delivered today. Less than a week from the time I placed the order to delivery.
They were well packaged and protected.
As soon as I opened the box, these plates screamed quality.
From the the 1/4" thickness to the precise cut outs and final finish.
Oh and I don't think you can beat his price for what you are getting.
Now I just need to make time to install them on a warm day.

If you want steel plates, for the Tundra, he has them too, and on sale right now.

I have No affiliation with Talons Garage, Just thought I would share my first hand opinions on his products.

 

Any plans on making fuel tank plates?

 

I actually happened to scan a 38 gallon tank this morning. I need to work on a few other projects first but this is on the list.

 

I realize the market is smaller, but any chance you'll be doing things for first generation tundras?

 

I have a transmission and transfer case plate designed, and sold quite a few. I also started on a front plate.

The main problem with the 1st Gen tundras is the frame changes a bunch between years.

I would need to scan a 2000 truck, a 2001-2003 truck and a 2004-2006 truck to get all the differences in one picture.

 

I've got a 2000 regular cab, long bed, and a 2002 Access cab V6 I'd be willing to let you scan.

I don't know where you're at. There's plenty of double cab peeps on here that I'm sure would be willing to do the same

 

Yah, 1st gen is tough because engine mounts are in diff't places between V6 and V8. Frame is slightly different between access, regular, and double cab, though the access and regular cab are close. I can imagine there are further differences between 2WD/4WD on each. I will say though, I'm pretty sure the OEM engine skid is the same between all models...

I have a 2006 4WD access cab I could toss out there for info, depending on what you need. I'm nowhere near H-Town, but we have a few TX members who are, and have a variety of trucks they could offer up. We can rally them over here if you want.

 

I can't find them on your website. Do you have any pricing information or pictures? I have a front skid and oil pan skid but I'm lacking one for my transmission.

 

Not so patiently waiting for the cats to come in from Toyota. It's been since July they went "missing". Last month I was told 12/23/2022 was ETA. Was told yesterday now its 02/23/2023.

 

They are on the Tundras page. How could I have made this easier to find? I am wondering if I need to have a Main page - Brand Page-->Model page-->Generation Page

Happy new years everyone! My wife just personally dropped off the last couple of packages to FedEx to be shipped.

We didn’t want anyone to wait an extra day to get their package!

 

Yep that was mine! Was great meeting yall and I had my plate installed that weekend! By the way the powder coating came out great, no flaws that i saw.

 

@Talon2006

Finally got my shields installed by the dealer, just making sure this was done correctly.

From the side of the truck, does the transfer case shield hang down a bit? Everything on the install seems correct, unless they missed something.


great product btw, thank you!

 

Yes, it will angle down just a tad.

As long as the brackets are flush up against the frame it should be good.

 

Old one on the left is replacing the new one on the right!

 

Holy smokes. That things like 4x the size!

 

so why us old replacing the new

 

Larger bend length, let us make more new products like gas tank skids and rock sliders.

Way more accurate, lets us make even better more complicated parts.

Easier to expand and make new products easier!

 

Don't forget, We have our 3rd Gen front plates in stock and ready to ship!!

Need some LCA and Alignment tab protection too....

 

Those will likely come after I finish the Transfer case setup, and the fuel tank skid!
