    Same, kind of bummed about it. Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my trans skid. I would just sell it but the bracket isn't in great condition (somewhat bent where the bolts were). I should have went thicker on the Valhalla, I just did 1/8" steel and it'll serve it's purpose but not as a skid, that was my mistake though. I have no complaints on the plates themselves.

    Yes, I saw a picture of it somewhere...I just don't understand how it can take so long just to add these wings to the sides of the skid plates. I've thought about ordering the Tacoma ones just to add the extra coverage
    :notsure:

    Glad to know I’m not the only person stalking their site daily waiting for them to drop. Hopefully they are released before the sale ends.

    Anyone know when the sale ends? I'm holding out until the last minute in hopes of the cat shields being released!

    RCI claims the catalytic theft plates should be going on sale by the end of this week. I asked them on an old Instagram post.

    I just don’t think they are in any rush to get these out compared to the tacoma and 4runner since those are probably where the major of their sales goes to.

    TBH, smart move on their part. How many people have held off buying from a competitor because they’ve said theirs is close to being released??? Not gonna lie… I might be one of them..

    I’m glad they are making sure it is right before releasing it so they don’t have all of us whining about an issue that wasn’t fully ironed out pre-release. We’ve never had vendors (former vendors) do that before…

    This is a fact! Every RCI product I've received has had excellent fit and finish. They won't release them until they are nearly perfect. After recently installing Talon cat guards for a friend, I was less than impressed with the quality and fit.

    RCI will you have raw aluminum?

    Just confirmed with RCI these are the only versions being offered for tundra's. They will not have aluminum cat guards for the tundra, order away boys
