Easy to install - Toyota Tundra
After our catalytic converter was stolen, we needed something to help deter people from picking our truck as an easy target. The metal isn’t flimsy, has a nice solid structure to it. It covers all the converters with enough protection. It was fairly easy to install. Definitely need two people to install such a large piece.

Not-so great flitment on 2021 Tundra Crewmax 4WD
The cat shield fit great on the corners and overall, but comes in contact with the transfer case skid plate. Since the cover is softer metal than the skid plate it will "self clearance" over time, and shouldn't be an issue, but may cause a rattle for some.

Great Protection on a Lowered Tundra
Installed this on a lowered 2007 Tundra DC 2WD and it went smoothly. The nut tabs are a little awkward but after the first one it’s easy enough from there. Hint: can use an ATV jack to help raise it up level and also leave the fasteners a bit loose until all are threaded in and the press up in the middle while tightening the rear first to torque, it’ll be “sag free”.

Missing items
Do not buy this product, It was send to me without bolts and screws. It is not worth the money and the plate is not for s 2013 Tundra. the fitting are completely off. I have yet to receive a refund, lastly, the product was damage in the corners. now it just seating on the back of my truck like garbage.

Easy assembly and installation. No directions but we’re not necessary. Some extra parts were supplied in case of user misplacing.

Great product with realistic expectations
Like most I am also concerned with having the catalytic converters in my truck stolen. I've been searching for one of these shields and this one caught my attention the most. It's quite sturdy and seems well made for the price. It's a two piece catalytic shield and is connected in the middle with 10 small bolts. It does cover all 4 of the catalytic converters, however, I wish it would stretch back a couple more inches in order to provide a bit more protection to the rear converters. Also, this shield is made of aluminum rather than steel like some of the more expensive options.A few pro's:The shield does cover all 4 of the converters.It ships quickly, if you are a prime member it'll most likely get to your house in 2 days.It is easy to assemble and quite easy to install once you figure out where to bolt it on the truck. (I suggest using the box and foam it came in to support the shield on the ground while you install it.)Has vents for air flow.Comes painted rather than bare metal/ aluminum.Comes with all the hardware needed including security bolts/screws, washers, and the security torx bits.Gives you some peace of mind.A few con’s:The packaging comes with zero installation instructions or pictures. It does not take long to figure out how to assemble it or how to install it on the truck, however some guidance would be nice as there are also no instructions or pictures on Amazon’s website.Though the shield covers all 4 catalytic converters it does leave some space behind the rear converters exposed. (Please see attached photos.)It does not come with any spare bolts or washers. It would have been nice to have a couple of spares in case you misplace one.

Good product needed in todays world!
The shield came well packaged with foam and bubble wrap. As noted instructions were not include but was a straight forward install. I managed to put it on by myself but used a floor jack to balance the shield while lifting it up. That freed up my hands to get rectangular plates in frame and hold them while installing the bolts. It took me about 30 minutes to install and am well pleased with the results. They look awesome! Like most reviewers I wish the back portion of shield was a tad longer. However, the Cats are well protected, but the rear resonators are still visible, but it would be difficult to cut out as there is no access to the front of them. Hopefully this will make scumbags move on to something easier! Recommend this for all Tundra owners.

Good quality. Easy install
Installation was easy and shield is good quality. Does not come with instructions but the holes on the shield clearly line up with holes on the frame. The rectangular brackets sit inside the holes of the frame and it can be tricky to start a screw without being able to push on the back of the bracket. I used a drill to spin the screw as I raised it towards the bracket and managed to get it to engage without holding the bracket. It helped to use the box and foam packaging under the truck to rest the shield close to the bottom of the truck while installing. Overall satisfied with the product.
