Catalytic Converter Theft Shield - Cali Raised - Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen 4wd
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Catalytic Converter Theft is rampant - it's time to protect your vehicle. Cali-Raised has come up with an affordable option for cat shields for our Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen V6 2wd/4wd Access/Double Cab. MillerCat and Talon's Garage are overpriced for what they are! These Cali-Raised versions install in minutes and anyone can install these with simple tools around your house. In the video I show what comes in the box for the 4wd version, what tools you need and exactly how to install these converter shields without lifting your vehicle. Please note that there are unique designs for the 4wd (my video) vs. the 2wd which uses a slightly different install technique.

Any catalytic converters thefts in your area? 🤔
I work in a car dealership near my house and in one day 6 catalysts were stolen😳
@@ulbiciohuici6401 wow, it’s really crazy right now. We’re they all Toyotas, Tacomas or what?
@@tacomanetwork Chevrolet silverado and Dodge Ram trucks
I've had two catalytic converters stolen from Honda Elements in Tulsa, OK. I installed the Cat Clamp on one of Elements afterward, which cost about $200 w/ shipping and took several hours to install; and looked ridiculous if you looked under the vehicle, but it was never stolen again. After buying my 23' Tacoma and looking up the cost of replacing the catalytic converters, I ordered and installed the Cali-Raised Shield for $190 w/ shipping (includes 2 shields, one for each cat), which took less than 30 minutes to install. They look amazing and have easily been the best value upgrade I've ever done to a vehicle. I highly recommend this product.
@@beaurotramel Sad to hear about your Element, but glad you found the CaliRaised option for your Tacoma. I agree, they look great too.
It looks nice with good protection and it seems that it comes with the truck. It didn't take me more than 40 minutes to put it on. Thank you!!😊😊
They really are factory looking - and the minimal cost compared to others.
Love the Lunar Rock Tacomas 😁
Agreed!
Dang bro that is the cleanest Tacoma underbelly I have ever seen!
She is very clean underneath. Thanks to all of the rain in SoCal. 😂
great video. I purchased these and look forward to the install.
Thanks buddy! They're an easy install - and glad I got em - had a neighbor get hit just a couple days after
Currently starting week 6 of the 3-4 week lead time. Eager to get them on
Yikes - I know they've been inundated with purchases, because of the massive thefts
@@tacomanetwork they actually got hit with a tornado
i just got mine but the driver side doesnt fit bc i bent my transmemeber bracket
@@pac5709 oh, yikes!
Same here. Still waiting...
Update: Received it in 6 weeks and installed it right away. Very easy and looks great 👍
@@edfigi just ordered mine 5 days ago. I guess I’m gonna be waiting a long time
I went with Miller for my last 2 Tacomas including my new 2022 TRD Sport. Your dealer stocks and installs them. More importantly they are covered under warranty through your dealer.
Good info....I liked two things on the Cali Raised versions - 1. They're separate units, much easier to install. 2. Price, for stainless steel they're less than 1/2 the cost.
I have these protectors and they are very well made and if you need any help Cali is there for you
Good info! I agree!
I ordered mine April 1st 2023 and till this day I have not received mine. I am really disappointed with how long it’s taking to get my covers. The bad part is I told a couple of my Friends and they also bought some for their trucks but they still have not received theirs also. I will be giving Cali a call again tomorrow to see what’s going on…if not I will have no other choice but to get my money back.
Mine took a good month to receive. Giev them a call to see what's going on - they're pretty responsive on emails too.
I like the look of Cali Raised, but I just got my new Tacoma on Sunday. I didn't want to wait 4 to 5 weeks, so I ordered the catshield on Monday and got it today. Catshield is no lead time.
it took 7 weeks to get mine....Im happy with the quality of the shield, but not the lead time.
haha, good video man, loved the intro!
You sure these will hold up to the twin nickel plus hammer detachin' technique?
Thanks buddy! I'll never forget the first time you used that....when a 17mm wheel nut came off and I didn't bring the tools....and you said "Just grab two nickels"
I own a 2022 Tacoma 2.7L 4 cylinder, why don't they make these for the 4 cylinder Tacoma? I looked online they say only made for the 6 cylinder Tacoma's.
They have only two configurations at the moment - V6/Auto/4wd and V6 Auto/2wd. They just came out with these two in the past couple of months.
Meh man! Here from your rc network channel! Weren’t you wanting to get a bronco or had one ordered? Also love the Tacoma’s man👍
Hey, I recognize that screen name! 😃👍. Yeah, Ford really screwed some people on the Bronco. I was all set for one in Sept of last year and with all the crazy mark up, I couldn’t spend $70k for a $50k Bronco. I also realized that to replace my FX4 F150, it would have cost about the same. So, I downsized. I considered the Ranger, but they just look dumb….and I’m not a 4 banger/turbo kinda guy. So the Tacoma was it. Ended up with the TRD OffRoad 4x4. Great truck so far
Thinking about buying one of these. Why only two security bolts on each side. Wouldn’t 4 each side be better?
Are the security bolts the same? If so, thieves can buy a set of these cat shields just to get the keys to steal from any truck with this brand of shields installed.
The security bolt/driver isn’t anything special….I actually had a set of torx security drivers here in my shop that fit perfectly. The goal with a cat shield and the security bolts is to let the thief know it’s not worth the time. I like the fact that it’s 2 security bolts, 2 12mm bolts and 2 14mm bolts per side. If a thief has all of that on hand, it’s not going to matter
Where do I get one of these for the 1997 Tacoma?
I really haven't seen anything for 1st gen's. I read this thread on Tacoma World that has some good info: www.tacomaworld.com/threads/cat-theft-protection-for-1st-gen-tacomas.765479/ It sounds like 1st gens might not be targeted as they don't have enough of the precious metals that either newer cars/trucks or hybrids have. You might not need to worry about it
Miller cat shield makes one for your model.
If they are hitting churches, they have my full support.
Yikes…..
I started watching the video and then I remember your tail ligths video so I stopped watching.
🤔
His death was his own fault don't steal from hard working people.
100%!
