Installed Catalytic Converter Plate Today - Found a great / inexpensive option

Similar shield that slides under TundraTRD Skid plate on PROS but are sold as two separate shields. If you’re trying to protect all four Cats.

 

Great job job

Your design would work fine and I would buy it quickly if I didn't have a DIY already. Kudos to you for not taking advantage of the public on pricing! You may check with some dealership parts departments in your area and see if you can put some on consignment for their customers.

 

Thank you for the suggestion. My buddy tried to show a local parts dept. where he was having his replaced and they wanted no part of it. The one they installed was $750 and only covered 2 cats. As for taking advantage, I appreciate the comment very much!! I am just a little guy in a big world and just want a little piece…not all of it, lol

 

Well you have a good attitude. I have a coworker who will probably be reaching out to you before the year is up

 

Thank you for the kind words!! Thank you for the referral

 

If you decide to ship them throw my name in there please.

Good news for TRD Pro owners!! Hoping to have a plate ready for you late this week. I have someone providing me a TRD Pro to take measurements. Fingers crosssd

 

Where are you located? I checked shipping cost to AZ today, and after buying a box, packing material, and actual shipping cost, I would be at $200 to ship to AZ. Obviously rates are different to different places, but that gives an idea of what shipping could be

 

If you private message me your address, I can check shipping cost. I found boxes that should work

 

I wanted to get a Valhalla's Cat Shield from Tyler, I always try to support small local businesses and forum members when possible.

But I could not pass up this deal on one from guess who? Amazon. It's stainless steel and I got it on sale for $429.00. It protects the rear cats too. Somewhat.

Then again, these cat shields are just like a lock. Hopefully it will make the crack head move to the next Tundra or other vehicle for a easier opportunity.


Hopefully this will keep my 2007 Crewmax safe.



O.S.T.

I purchased an aluminum shield from Valhalla shields about a month ago and no word from them on shipping. I have emailed them twice asking for at least an ETA and no response. My credit card has already been charged and am a bit concerned. I understand they are apparently busy, but I'd at least appreciate a reply regarding my order. Anyone else having delay issues from them? Wondering if I need to cancel my order and contest the charge and get one of these elsewhere. Thank you.

 

He has stated in previous threads that facebook messenger is the best way to contact.

His product is high quality but requires patience, up to 4 months.

There are numerous other options if you cannot wait.

 

Well, I'm still waiting and hitting on 4 months soon. A bit of a stretch and no communication from Valhalla. Really disappointed as it seems his shield was of high quality, but it's a concern when I have no communication with the seller and it keeps getting delayed. I've decided to open a resolution with PayPal to see if I can either get the item I ordered by early next month or obtain a full refund. Hopefully I'll get the shield!

 

Damn. When I made the decision, I called around and acquired my shield the same day. I wasnt looking for a Miller specifically, but it was available (and actually very nice 3/16" aluminum construction). While I know that is not feasible in every market, a four month wait would possibly cause me a much longer wait for replacement exhaust parts, and there's no way I would have felt comfortable waiting that long.

I am still of the beliefe that ANY cat shield/plate will suffice in the vast majority of theft situations.

I hope you find a solution quickly, and preferably your first option!

 

@Gforcemetalworks Does this plate also work on Gen 2 Sequoia (2011 2WD)? Also, do you carry any in stock? We will be in the Dallas area next week/weekend and may hit you up for a couple plates if you have them available. Other vehicle is 2016 Tundra 4WD.

 

Just wanted to provide an update to everyone that I never received any further communication nor my shield from Valhalla. My purchase ended up in dispute with PayPal and they never even responded to PayPal - thus it was resolved in my favor and received a full refund. Not sure what happened, but I would NOT recommend purchasing from Valhalla! I might try Talon's Shields or find one on Amazon.

 

Something must be going on with him Tyler. I recently needed another set of aluminum spacers since my tundra is 4 wheel drive and it calls for 2 spacers to keep away from the transfer case. When I received my plates last year never got 2 spacers and he sent me 2 recently.

 

I went with this one about a year ago. I figured it would be worth it for the cost of my deductible.

 

Try https://www.getcatsecurity.com/ I ordered the Ultimate package and had mine in about a week.

 

That's ridiculous. I won't be using them.

 

Have any pictures? Curious how well they protect the rears.

 

Here are some pictures from another thread.
Looks like I’ve joined the stolen cat club

 

That looks really nice.

 

They look good, and seem to have cut down on a bit of road noise. That was an unexpected bonus.
