Valhalla’s Shield theft deterrent/skid plates info and ordering post

That just sucks !

 

Oh man...sorry to hear about that

 

I am so sorry to hear that…

BUT! You can hold that over her head for the rest of time

 

Yep, but now I can sleep better, since I know when I get up in the morning that my cats will still be gone…..and that thief will roll under my truck with saw in hand and say…. “Oh, shite I’m to late”

Sounds awesome when you start it up. Sounds like a 70s muscle car, but…… once you start driving….. the sound is defining.

Of course I ran around the parking lot and looked under the two other Tundras and……. Theirs where still there. Happy for them, sad for me.

At least now once I have them replaced, I have the plates to protect them.

 

#4 did not arrive today. It is almost funny to track FedEx. All 4 left Texas together got to Cali and decided to "go their own way way"

 

Order shows shipped today and arrival tomorrow!
Wondering if nut plate is in the box with one of the 2. I've seen posts about people's being sent separate, but it didn't show it in shipping info.

 

Tyler sent me my front plate first, on my request.
All the hardware, including the nut plate and rear plate bolts, was in a box taped up inside the front plate box.

He sent the rear plate when it was available.
The rear plate is flat, the front plate not so much...

 

It is in the package with the front cat plate sir. I haven’t shipped many sequoia bolts, but I like the way your vehicle sounded with the order. PRO sequoia, I have a special place in my heart for off-road sequoia’s

 

as of now, it shows 2 separate pieces shipped and arrived at our local hub about 15 mins ago. so it looks like i'll get both at once. which i'll prob try to put both on tomorrow evening after work.

i'll be sure to update once i'm done on install and give feedback. but i'm sure it'll be like almost everyone else here and install will go fine. thanks bud!

 

Sounds like mine are about to ship. Woohoo! I caught the police using my truck for bait last week and I left the building in time to see them take off chasing after some dudes who had no business being there. I'll definitely sleep better once they're on the truck

Edit: nope, the wait continues

 

Fleetwood Mac style!

 

#4 found it's way home ! Got work to do this weekend

 

Don't wait too long like @GrayWolf did and end up with stolen cats with your plates still in the packaging. I only installed the two cat shields with pentagon bolts and Rock Hard 4X4 Rock Domes. It took my wife and I about 45 minutes to put them on. It took that long because I included the time to take the tools out, put the truck on the ramps, install, and put everything away. I would even do it by droplight at night just to get them on.

 

If my wife helps that will at least double the time. LOL
YES . . . ITS FUNNY BECAUSE ITS TRUE !!!

I ended up getting the cat plates and the front skid plate. I am actually excited about it. Going to pressure wash the under carriage Friday night and go to town on it Saturday morning !

 

Holy shit, when I got home the rear plate was sitting there with "some" bubble wrap and no cardboard. A secondary delivery tag stuck on it. It's a wonder I got it at all. It's scratched a little bit nothing to get bound up over. The other three parcels we're wrapped like brick shit houses. Just stoked it made it to it's new home !

 

Really? That is amazing in a terrible way… I pack all the plates tightly, this actually irritates me…

 

I was surprised. The other 3 were packed very well. All I know is that they are here and I am ready to get going on them !

 

By the way, THANKS Tyler !

 

I am sending you a message, I want to see if I can get fed ex to explain that BS

 

So I didn't find clarity on the TRD skid plates nut plate. Where exactly does it go and is it supposed to be aligned like this? Is this one off like some others were before?
Seems to be about a 1/2" off if it goes here. This is looking at the skid plate furthest away from front of vehicle towards the front with the nut plate sitting on top of one bolt and onto the other.

 

I see 2 things here. First, it looks like the nut plate is on top of the TRD bolts that come with the TRD plate. Second, once you remove the TRD bolts, you will see that it is about a 1” hole under there and it is pretty easy for the bolts to move around a bit.

 

Is that where the nut plate goes?
I haven't seen direction on doing with a PRO skid plate. Sorry

 

Yes, that is exactly where it goes, I need to make time to add that to the instructions along with update the amazing ones 3rdtundra made

 

Ok. I wanted to check that first before I started install to make sure I had it all and was ready. So it should fit once I use the supplied bolts right?

 

Yes

 

I'll try to remember to take pics of process (mostly of nut plate install) for you/others. Thanks man

 

I can't even imagine but...I'm thinking it was an inside job, or at least someone close to your place. The f***ers waited until after you got the cat plates so they wouldn't have to worry about having "theirs" stolen?? That's some low down dirty business right there.

 

Good luck with that.
Remember my 3500-mile nut plate venture..

I'd like to say as a UPS employee that we could do better.
But the way things are going I couldn't make that promise...
Be it UPS, Fedex, or USPS, no one seems to give a shit anymore...

 

I didn't wanna like that.
