    Here is what I have seen in this thread regarding sliders fitting with the rear cat plate bracket:
    Does anyone have CBI or other slider manufacturer experience with the rear cat plate? Straight bolt up or modification required?

    Hot damn. I missed the "slider" reference in your last sentence. :anonymous:

    This very helpful, especially for those of us looking to get sliders. I will say that while the frame holes may be the same between the Crewmax and Double Cab, the body mounts are different and can interfere with some slider mounting points. For instance, the Caliraised sliders designed for a Crewmax won’t fit a Double Cab because the body mount is in the way of the slider’s rear mount. So that may add another complicating variable to the equation when figuring out what works and what needs additional modifications with the Valhalla skids.

    Good point.
    The caliraised slider statement is still true, but you can only get caliraised sliders for a crewmax
    In the cases of SDHQ, C4, and P&P it should work for both applications, I expect, since these sliders mount at the same location as the Valhalla plate. However, confirmation of double cab application would be good.
    The Victory4x4 is definitely unclear.

    The victory 4x4 sliders on a CM don’t interfere with the Valhalla plates at all. I’ll post some pics up later today after work.

    I am also picking up my trailer tomorrow from plasma cut which will have a lot of aluminum and steel on it. Gotta get my help back over here to help me unload it and start working through it while I go and pick up more metal to push through plasma cut

    Great news! Have a 2 week roadtrip coming up in 2 weeks. Hoping to get a message soon that my plates are ready for pickup so they can get installed before we leave.

    Stirred up a crew stealing cats the other night. Chased em into the county adjacent to @Classy63 where they wrecked out and fled on foot. Got away, unfortunately. Had about 14 cats in the car, mostly from Tundras, Prii, and Hondas. :fenforcer:

    Finally got my mid and rear plates on after theyve been sitting around 2 months or so. Tyler upgraded me to billet aluminum as he knew I wanted something robust. Let me tell you, if a big 300 pound 6'3/6'4" dude can install these on his own on a sloped driveway without lifting up his truck, then you can too.

    Install was very straight forward and if I wasnt so paranoid I think I would have finished much sooner. Install took me about 1.5 hours (again, alone and on a sloped driveway with no jack). I was happy I did not have to remove the 2 front bolts where the mid plate slides under my TRD Pro front skid plate. I just loosened the 2 bolts and they slide right in. Tightening these same 2 bolts was probably the hardest part but it was not bad at all. Even though I have big hands and forearms, I was able to comfortable squeeze a wrench with my left hand from the passengers side opening to hold those 2 crossmember bolts while I tightened at the bottom with my right hand. Maybe im not giving enough credit to my wingspan.:cool:

    When you have a size 40 waste and a Dad bod, it (your torso) comes in handy when youre holding each plate and getting ready to slide it in. Once everything was tightened down, it sure is sturdy and gives me the confidence not only as a cat theft deterrent but also as skid plates. I was fortunate to pick these up when Tyler first joined the group so luckily my wait time wasnt too bad and I appreciate how well he packaged each skid plate. Im contemplating taking thse off and coating them with some rhino liner but right now I feel like the raw metal flows pretty nicely with the TRD Pro Skid plate.

    Also, I thought about getting security bolts but I can confidently say it would be a pain in the a$$ for anyone to try to remove these even with the hardware Tyler includes. Anyways enough of my rambling heres some pics under my 2020 Tundra TRD Pro Crewmax:

    Update: I was waiting for someone to point it out but my OCD got to me. It looks like the rear plate is supposed to go under the mid plate. I feel like the rear mid plate pushes up against the transmission or driveshaft quite a bit when placed under the mid plate but im assuming it should be fine.

    Did you remember to put the square spacers on top to between the pate and the frame and remove the small skid plate from the transfer case?

    Thanks, I was actually about to ask. I got 2 spacers on each side but I only put 1 in between the crossmember and rear plate. The other one 1 I put at the top of the cross member (I dont know why) so I tomorrow I will move that 2nd spacer and stack it with the other spacer between the crossmember and rear plate. Does this that sound right?

    Tyler's instructions state "depending on your setup, you may only need one spacer installed between crossover frame and the front skid plate". I am not sure when two are needed.
