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

I cannot comment for the unexplainable. But here is what I will say as far as oil changes go. It is pretty stupid proof and is simpler than the factory skid plate is.

 

I have had that "free" oil change deal on several Toyotas, I used it once. It was more of a hassle taking it, waiting for it and getting it back than changing my own oil. Plus I was worried they would mess something up.

FYI

 

Thanks very much. ToP is a good shop, even if they've not been perfect, so hopefully I won't have a bad experience with it. I'll get it ordered tomorrow if I'm not too busy at work.

@e30cabrio - - I called them knuckleheads in full jest, but yeah - I've had Toyota Service experiences that were less than perfect. I'm pulling to the right a tad right now, after only highway driving, after having them adjust my alignment only 400 miles ago, so I think this is that. Social media being what it is, though, I'd expect they'll be at least somewhat moved to fix imperfect experiences... Maybe.

 

Mizzen, main, and fore ordered. Got a pass from the wife for the purchase without even having to ask. Visited her fam in Acadiana over the weekend, and her dad started the convo 'Have you heard about all the Tundra's getting their catalytic converters stolen?'...

 

You are not the first!

 

Hi. I'm having trouble getting to your website, is there an issue there? Does anyone have pictures of the front skid from the front of the truck, not from underneath. I was leaning a different way, but was pointed to you by another member and I'm really impressed. Thanks in advance.

 

@rrrobot the link to the website is in the first post. I just opened it before typing this and had no issues. Can't help you with your other question about the skid plate

 

Thanks Robert, the firewall I'm behind at my hospital says it's "parked" I'll try another way. I appreciate the quick feedback!

 

Hi Tyler... I'm ready to purchase the front and rear Cat Shields. I've sent you a message via your webpage asking exactly what I need for my 21 DC Tundra 4x4 (my avatar is the truck it's for). Can you respond to my email and update me with what I need to get this started. Thanks. -Mike

 

Sure Mike

I got some of the order of pentagon bolts today, Tim, I am packing yours up now

 

Thanks Tyler!

 

Here is what comes with the pentagon bolt

 

Hi Tyler, left a post on the profile page but figured do it here.
Just got the new 2021 Tundra CrewMax short bed, and with all the hell cats getting stolen in broad daylight, I am not gonna take a chance on it.
Can you quote me for a local pickup for front and back cat 1/4 aluminum, and possibly skid plate, too?
Hope I am not too far from you, since your profile states Cypress.
Thanks! - Ian

 

All the prices are on my website sir!

 

My bad. Is there a chance to pay cash? You are actually closer to Tomball, but I'm just south of 290 and Barker.

 

Is one of the pentagon kits going out to Oregon by chance?

 

I have only packed one up for shipping so far, tomorrow is going to be some what of a me day, my car is finally going to get finished and slapped on the dyno, I am very excited to get it finished and start driving it again

 

You deserve ME days.

 

Hey Tyler,
Any update on those 3/16 aluminum shields? Been waiting a while and that vacation trip is getting close.

 

Thanks @Classy63 for the product. Finally got mine installed with @Squatting Pigeon helping. No rattle and now a lot of piece of mind. With as much trouble as we had tightening the hardware using the tools in my garage, I don't see the average thief having luck without someone noticing.

Skid plate is being changed next week and then some blue will be added to all 3 plates.

 

Thanks for the tracking!!!!

 

I'm sure I missed it, but I'd like to add those security bolts to my order, what do I need to do to do that?

I saw this on FB, if not allowed delete.

Note to self: if your catalytic converter gets stolen, don't drive. Have it towed instead >>>>>>>>>

 

Crap. I always kinda wondered...what's the big deal? Part of the exhaust is missing, just drive it to a shop. That's crazy. Thanks a lot for posting this.

 

Dang. I drove mine around sparingly for short trips. Glad it never caught fire.

 

That sucks. Probably got the fuel lines while cutting out the cats

The best part is I found it in my junk folder. So its already been on the road a few days

 

And iit only took 10 weeks to ship.

 

Hi all, I have another question. Can you have a steel skid plate and also aluminum shields? I was under the impression that you can't have 2 different types of metal touching. If you get bare steel everything, do you need to put some kind of protectant/paint/etc on it? I hope these aren't dumb questions. Just doing a little research before pulling the trigger. TIA.
