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

plenty of room between the rear cat plates and the tank.

 

I had to take one of my dogs to the vet, I will hopefully get back in time to ship some plates out

 

Just wondering, do you feel any "lean" when full tank? Especially when you do a full left turn?

 

I'm trying to remember the weight of the tank with the bedliner exterior. I thought it was 170-180#. Their site says 187# shipping weight.

I always mix up the imperial gallon weight to u.s. My fault. 7.2# vs 6.1#

Edit: the factory plastic one was less than 20#. That's at least 150# more tank and 122# more fuel, so minimum 270 more than a full oem 26 gal tank. It's why I would like to go to the 38 gal on my truck when I get irritated enough at the 26. So much lighter.

 

I hope the pup is ok! Pets are our family members too. Family must come first.

 

Dogs got in a fight, he has a small laceration on his leg, we superglued it but it didn’t hold, he is getting some staples now

 

Poor dude!

 

Time to make some bite shields!

 

He got his staples and we are home, he is the small dog, he picked a fight with our bigger dogs, he lost

Our Alpha is not healthy right now so all of our dogs are acting retarded…

 

I'm glad he'll recover well!

 

Smaller dogs also tend to be a little, eh, dick-headed that they are the Alpha where the actual Alpha is laughing softly behind them.....

 

@Classy63 just checking back to make sure I didn't get lost in all the excitement

Problem getting worse?

"Ore. police bust $22M catalytic converter trafficking ringAt least 14 suspects are responsible for trafficking more than 44,000 catalytic converters stolen from vehicles on the West Coast since 2021"

 

I was just wondering if that option would work. I'm very tempted to get that transfer flow tank. Knowing that it will not interfere with these plates makes the decision a little easier.

Now I just need the funds.

For the tank

and the fuel to fill it

 

Any update for the 3/16 thick aluminum black powder coated for the 2022 model. @Classy63

 

Not yet

 

So let’s just be on the safe side and say nothing shipped for another 2-3 months?

 

For being new to the forum someone has no patience.

 

234 is a polite S.O.B

 

If anyone is on the fence on getting these plates, just do it. A couple of months ago installed Classy's aluminum plates on my 21 tundra for less than it cost me to replace the single rear cat that was cut from son's Kia Sorrento last week. His car was in a fenced parking lot at work and the rat bastards still got it.

 

Mine was in Ocala last night which is about 90 miles from the Tampa area. FedEx often delivers on Sunday so we shall see if it's a day early.

 

Got my V3 plate and hardware today. I'll have to schedule the time for the install ASAP. I can say that the quality is top drawer just like the rest of Valhalla Shields product offerings. For me, the wait times have been worth it.
Thank you @Classy63. I'm a perfectly happy customer.

 

I need to make a write up how to line it up, but essentially, line up the forward edge of vertical plate to the edge of the Valhalla emblem and then center it up otherwise.

 

So I finally got my truck back up on my friend's lift and removed the small factory transfer case skid plate and reinstalled the 3/16 Valhalla plate and now the vibration is really loud as it's hitting the transfer case slightly. What's the best thing to do? Push in a rubber pad, cut out a little or what? The plate isn't bent at all so I was surprised it still hit.

 

Gotta take off that little black paper-thin shield on the bottom of the transfer case for clearance

 

He said the he has a vibration after removing it.

 

Oops my bad. I skimmed over it too fast. Maybe shim down the plate at the crossmember with nylon washers then. Y'all talked a little about that earlier somewhere. I'm planning to to do just that at install but more to protect the powder coat from wearing where it touches the truck.

 

I can send you some spacers to fix this

send me a message
