    Howdy from Texas! I bought this 2021 TSS Off Road couple months back. Quite a different experience from the Tacos and a simple but rather very cool vehicle!

    I put a Diamond Back Cover on it, a Tyger Bull Bar and today my Valhalla Shields arrived and it took me about 2 hours to install them. Thieves stole cats right off my Honda on the street in my nice neighborhood 3 months ago. I caught it on my cameras but it was 3am and it took 60 seconds. My vehicle feels secure for getting it done now. Question, can ya'll direct me to proper locking gas caps for Tundras?

    Feel grateful for the new ride.

    Thanks for the forum.

    I think I would be adding tamper proof bolts to those Valhalla Shields, with my luck i would come out and find them and the cats gone. Most are using carriage bolts and lock nuts.

    The tamper proof screws look great! I'll consider it still. I have seen the threads/posts about it, but after installing these I am confident a thief with a battery powered saw would walk away. The install takes 2 hours because of the location of the bolts. And unless a thief had the ability to cut through all 6 bolt heads and rattle these plates to the ground first, then cut off the cats I feel OK right now. They certainly could not 'unscrew' them with out 6 different wrench sizes and whole lot of PITA.
