Plain Jane Cat Shield options please

Now that's good coverage. Many of the others you can see front and back of cat.

 

Hey did you get the upgraded Pentagon security bolts?

 

I did. I also got the protective washers.

 

Anyone on here give these a try? Not sure about welding the brackets on, but they also offer U-Clamps and bolts to secure them. Not cutting through rebar with a little hacksaw. Plus would make easier for performing services later on without have to remove a heavy bolted on plate.

I went with Valhalla. Texas made, and the forum pointed me that way.

 

Talon's 1/4" aluminum, easy install and super quick delivery. Wanted Vahalla, but no way I could wait that long.

Whatever you do, I'd do it quickly. I'd much rather drop $600 now than regret it later...lot's of people on here wish they woulda had plates sooner.

 

I got Valhalla a couple of years ago.

 

How good is the coverage? Do you have any pictures showing the coverage for the 2 rear cats?

 

Thank you for the reply. Did you get 8 pentagon security bolts? Think Tyler recommends getting 6 don't need to fully get 8. Also where did you get the protective washers? Didn't see them on the Valhalla site.

 

That some nice coverage. What was your total for everything with shipping?

 

I installed the two Talon shields today on my 2018 Tundra. The total cost was $725 delivered. I over paid by $10 on the shipping due to my mistake, on the security bolt page it says to enter a provided code at checkout for a combined shipping discount. I forgot to enter the code which would have discounted that $725 to $715.
I ordered on Sunday and FEDEX delivered it today (Wednesday) here in TN.
It took just over an hour to install. No surprises and no issues.

The security bolts option gets you four long 3/8" bolts and the driver bit. I was figuring on buying and adding more security bolts/screws but after installing the setup I don't think it is necessary. The two 1/4" thick plates are held by the four security bolts into the two cross members. The rear shield brackets are are secured by the provided allen head button screws. No drilling required at all.
As it is, there is very good protection for all 4 CAT's.

Even if a thief took the time to remove the rear brackets by unscrewing the allen screws, he couldn't bend the 1/4 plate down enough to cut out the rear CAT's.
I can sleep at night and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

 

I think it was 650 or something like that. 1/4" aluminum.
