    @Classy63, Do you happen to know the length and width of the front plate and rear cat plates? I want to get a quote on getting them Line-X'd vs having them powdercoated.

    Let me know what your quote is. I wanted to do the same, but I might just try to shade tree this one if it's pricey, since it's under my rig. That paint is expensive for DIY though, so if it's reasonable to get it done, I'd rather not have my wife bitching about the mess I make when I do it.

    Ok, I have everything for the bare steel 1/8 plates and I have begun shipping them out. My powder coater is going to be pumping out the rear cat plates this week. I should have at least 25 sets of 1/8 powder coated plates before Friday. I am VERY happy to finally be shipping this stuff out!

    For those waiting on aluminum, the laser cut order should be ready by Friday

    I am into July orders for 1/8 bare steel. I am still going, I need to make it to august 1st before I start powder coated.

    It feels great to finally start catching up on these orders, if I can get the aluminum order back Friday, I might be able to clear the rest of the may orders this week and then I can power through June and July!

    Ok! With the aluminum order being almost ready, the first steel batch getting finished up and the next steel batch getting started next week. I can officially say that besides starting another aluminum order, I am going to be caught up into September in the next few weeks. It has been a long ugly road, but everyone who is waiting, the plates are coming. If you have been waiting for my production to get back on track, I am there. After the next steel and aluminum batches go through, I should be able to start having stock again for the first time since March. I am also going to finally start designing new stuff.

    Tundra BDS front cat plate
    Version 3 rear cat plate (front skid plate and front cat plate are staying the same)

    Finally getting around to installing next week. Are there any install guides with the TRD skid plate? Just want to save myself some potential time/frustration if so. I haven't opened the box yet so disregard if there's instructions inside.

    Thanks!

    No instructions inside. There is an ok guide on my website. But as for the pro skid plate, just loosen the rear bolts of the pro skid plate to the point where they are almost coming loose from the nut, shove the front cat plate in, it will take alittle shimmy back and forth while lining up the slots to the bolts on the pro plate, once it goes all the way forward, follow the rest of the guide and tighten the pro bolts up last, sometimes you can get lucky and the nuts will grab on their own and tighten themselves down with an impact, otherwise you will need to fish your hand up there with a 15mm wrench and tighten it that way.

    PS, I always recommend working on a cold engine. Those oil pans will burn you tightening the bolts, and of course the exhaust for the rest of the plates

    Hi Tyler... I'm interested in front and rear skid plates for my 2019 Tundra CM. What is a realistic time frame to expect delivery after I place my order?

    I have a detailed installation write-up in my build:
    https://www.tundras.com/threads/3rdtundras-2017-double-cab-build.92631/#post-2338309
    It is detailed with pictures but...
    1. It is for installing with the Valhalla engine skid, not the TRD skid. You can just skip these sections though. As Tyler said, the key is to loosen (or in my case leave loose) the rear bolts for the skid plate so that the front cat plate can slide between the skid plate and truck
    2. I believe that Tyler changed one of the bolt sizes, (3/8" changed to 1/2" for the front-cat plate/rear-cat plate bolts?) so one of the bolt sizes listed in my write-up is no longer current.

    Hi Tyler,

    Do you have an update for R508975813? Have a trip in a couple weeks, hoping to get them before. Sorry to ask/harass on it and thank you.

    I also would be interested in the 4runner 5th generation plates too - I'll be watching for that as well!

    Thanks!

    For those that have already installed their shields with the Barnes 4WD tapered washers, what is the CONFIRMED number of bolts that these would work on? From what I've read and noticed is that Barnes has 3 different tapered washers and that most people have ordered the 1/2" to 9/16" tapered washers for those bolts circled in green below. Will the same-sized or other-sized tapered washers also work on the bolts connecting the Z brackets to the rear cat plate and the bolts connecting the Z brackets to the frame (as circled in yellow below)?

    Hey Tyler,

    Let me know when you are able to get your design going for the skid plate with front Cat shield for 8" RL and If you need me to put some $$ down just let me know and I will definitely do that! Thanks!

    I won’t be asking for preorders, I want to have a product that is complete rather than rushing something out the door.

    Since we are on the subject, my knee jerk reaction would be to design this for the 4.5” lifts and make it work for the rest, but this will leave the subframe exposed, but protect everything else, is that ok?

    Yes I get what you're saying about the product and if what you end up designing works cool and I'll volunteer to be the test dummy when it comes time for that lol...
