    Jackass even has his safety vest he uses to look official most likely. That should be an easy snatch if the police were remotely interested in pursuing this seriously.

    Quick question? Since the plates I ordered aren’t finished is there a different shipping date maybe? Thanks again for your help.

    I ordered two aluminum plates from Tyler. Looking through the thread, I don't see any concrete solutions on security minded bolts. Anyone found something thatis available and fits?

    Still in the process of looking around. What i have decided on is security bolts in the back of Tylers plates, standard bolts in the front, where it meets the TRD plate, due to size of bolt and difficulty finding security bolts in this size, and security bolts for the smaller hardward on the TRD plate. The combination of security bolts in the back and front would mean even if you got the middle, TRD to Valhalla bolts off, it wouldnt help if the front and back plates are security bolted.

    I'm hoping thieves don't spend that much time trying, but I'm looking to make it as hard as possible. Now I'm concerned about the 4Runner until something comes out for it.

    I will make them for all the Toyota SUV’s and trucks eventually!! Just need to get a shop to work out of to expand the product line

    honestly, I don’t discourage security bolts. BUT! If a thief goes under your truck with a tool chest to take off the plate, I am not sure how much a security bolt would help.
    The way I think about it is like security lug nuts, it is a good idea, but it can be defeated.

    If they took a grinder to your security bolt and made a flat head notch, they have beat the security bolt

    Yeah, none of this matters if you dont strategically park any way. This would be meant to stop people from jacking your cats in under 5 minutes while you are at the store or parked in front of your house. If your in an airport parking lot at night and he has infinite time to mess with it, nothing will stop him, but with these, hopefully he will go to the next car and hit like 6 or 7 cars in the time it would take for him to uninstall everything.

    check out screwdsecurity.com

    these are bryce fasteners available in smaller quantities. mine just showed up via ups within the past hour.

    more secure than your average torx or allen tamper-proof in which the key can be purchased anywhere.

    ordered monday night, shipped tuesday, arrived friday.

    now i just need my tundra back from the dealership. exactly 4 weeks and anxiously waiting for toyota to get cats. i was told march 11th, then march 18th, and now march 25th.

    i miss my cemental, and she misses me!

    i have the desert eagle plate; the hardware included was four 3/8 - 16 x 1.25" bolts and some square nuts welded to some flat stock.

    i ordered the 3/8 - 16 x 1.50" (screwd does not have 1.25"). they are apparently out of stock of the 1.5" qty 5 pack, think i got the last one. you could go longer and grind off what you don't need.

    i would check the hardware you received w/ your plate to ensure your screwd bolts fit.

    YOU MUST ALSO BUY THE PROPER KEY!

    5 bolts = $20 and 1 key = $20

    Tyler could you list the hardware and sizes that come with your kit so we all know what to look for if we want security bolts?

    Does anyone have the desert eagle plate with trd pro skid plate, pics? Any issues? Apparently desert eagle is on back order and you have to call to be on the list, but the owner sounds aces.

    You have to drill 2 holes or cut 2 slots at the front of the DE plate to attach to the rear bolts of the trd plate
