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

I just put in my order a few days ago. Please let us know when/if we can upgrade our order to V3. Also, is airflow an issue for cooling the tranny with these installed?

 

Nope, been tested by many customers.

As far as V3, send me a message

 

Hold my recent order for the v3 then please

 

Question for those with both plates... Do y'all think it's OK to jack the truck up on the middle of the center crossmember with the plates installed? Need to rotate the tires and am trying to decide how best to jack up the front end. Or should I do one side at a time, on the frame rails?

 

Not sure that's the best idea even with no plates installed; but if they're steel they'll present a slippery surface, and if aluminum they may lose integrity as the weight rests on them. You may jack the front of your truck up in a sense not intended...

 

OK, just wondering. Several things I saw online said to use the horizontal crossmember on a Tundra.

 

I would never recommend someone lifting the truck this way, BUT, one a 3/16 steel front skid plate I installed, we did test it. We put the jack directly under the center post and jacked the front end up until both front tires came off the ground. We were curious and again, I don’t recommend it

 

No, do not jack the truck this way. The best way to rotate tires is to use jack stands. Be safe!

 

I think he's wondering how to get it up onto the jack stands? If plate is up tight against cross member at rear bolt area, I would put a 4x4 block on jack and lift at cross member and put on stands , then do rear. Don't lift rear first and then front!!!

 

@Classy63, can you please check on my order status?
Ordered on12/5/21...#R531329219, #R088049142, Bolts#R418143332...have to drive into WDC next week to Andrews AFB on business hopefully with protection??
Much appreciated Sir.

 

I have them, I would assume this would ship today or tomorrow

 

I wouldn’t worry too much about Andrews proper. Very clean, safe, quiet base for the most part. Once you leave the front gate (or back), well…the entire area becomes a third world nation, especially around the Waldorf area. Or if you go to Bolling. Best part of being stationed there was seeing it in my rear view mirror.

@Classy63 could you check if order#R318832697 is coming down the shipping lane? Very much appreciated!

 

Your plates are being made now, I might have them next week

 

Thanks for the quick response. That being said, is it too far along to make them the V3? I’m good either way, just wanted to ask.

 

Tyler, I am looking on your website and don't see a difference in the cat shields? Is a pic of the V3 on here or am I missing something?

 

Maybe no, send me a message

 

I have drawn up V3, it isn’t on the website yet, the people messaging me are getting on a list to have me potentially change their order to V3.

Side note, someone is coming by Friday so I can measure to make the 2wd part of the V3

 

Definitely will order the a matching V3 rear plate powder coated red to match my incoming red front plate

 

Thanks for the quick response..

 

Yes!....an inch closer for a bolt-on addition for us 2wd current rear plate owners.

 

Copy. Msg sent.

 

I'm coming, I'm coming...... hold your hps.....lol

 

@Classy63 - Ordered in late January so I know I'm still a way off from shipping. I ordered front and rear steel plates and interested in the added protection of the V3 2WD rear plate. I'll PM the order #.
Huge props for what you have started, and for continuing to evolve the design.

 

I have a 6" Pro Comp Bracket lift, any plans to make a skid plate that will work with this lift, you'd be the only one?

 

Do you have a plate for the 22 yet?

I've read and reread the posts.
I don't understand what the V3 difference is.
I thought it just provided access for fluids to the transfer case.
Being I have a 2WD, do I need that?
I mean, I know I don't have a transfer case.

What are the other benefits to the V3?
I ordered a month ago so I'm guessing I could change the order if I need it.

Someone help this dummy out..

 

The V3 once designed will give a raised lip on the back of the rear plate for is 2wd trucks.

 

You mean like this?

 

Yes
