4:08 This is perfect advice for the proper defense against catalytic converter thefts. The converter detects its been cut, then airbag suspension completely drops all air pressure, crushing the thief.

How about this for a winning story. I went to the gym driving my 2014 Ford F150, went and worked out. Came back out and my catalytic converters were still there, but the truck was gone! Winner,winner, chicken dinner!!

Amazing job on the installation video! Our Tundra Cat Shield rear wings are recommended for the 2018-2021 Toyota Tundra but you've gone ahead and made it possible for all DIYers who wish to add this to their main Cat Shield. Well done!!

Great video. Just installed a Miller CAT shield on my 2014 Tundra that had it's Catalytic converters cut out. Even better news for those watching this video. The latest version of the Miller CAT rear shield has been modified so that no drilling of holes is needed. The rear shields mount using the same holes as the back end of the main shield.

So woke up about to leave for work and i heard the dredged sounds of my catalytic converter‘s missing. I was and still am so mad and sad about it. I looked up many ways to secure my cats and by far this seems to be the best option. I’ve already bought the kit using your code and will be installing it on my 2013 tundra as soon as I get it back from the shop. I will not be a victim a second time and this aluminum shield will make sure of that! Thanks for the great video!

I just moved to Denver with my family and within 2 weeks someone has already stole my cat converter. I am using this video to better protect myself. Thank you so much for your advise on the matter and how to better defend myself.

So after losing my forever dream truck, that I had for only 7 months, due to a leak in the sunroof and the truck grew mold inside and insurance declared it a total loss.. I had to buy another vehicle so I bought a 2013 Toyota tundra, then learning about the Cadillac converter thefts that had started up pretty heavy at that time So I now have a truck that I worry about when I go somewhere. I am a 64 year-old disabled woman that loves trucks but now I have to worry when I go somewhere that someone's going to steal my converter. I saw your video and wish I could get the shield that you were showing how to put on but unfortunately I can't do that. I just pray that mine never gets stolen. Thanks for video! Awesome job!

I appreciate the information you gave. It's really important for people out there. To protect their vehicle from is freaking phase. You spend a lot of money on a reveal and someone comes and destroys it just for a few dollars.

loved the fact that you're willing to give out your old shield no matter who gets it... hope it's going to be 1 less tundra cat get stolen. Kudos to you. By the way, the new shield is awesome.

Wow your shields look great and look easy to attach. I have a 2018 Tundra 4x4. My buddy has a 2016 Tundra. We car pooled today and parked his truck at a train station so we could take it into work. We came back to his truck and heard that noise from the beginning of your video. Luckily they only removed one front cat when the security spotted them and they got away. Now I want to get security for my truck. I'm freaked out that I'm next. I saw your product and gave me a sense of security that I need.

I just brought home a 2018 Tundra yesterday. I wrapped a new tarp around it today since I'm not ready to use it. I like what I saw on your show. It looks doable even at my age. Thank you. 9/17/2022

I just bought a Tundra back in November. This is the best advice I've received regarding my Tundra.

This happens everywhere and while I haven’t had my Tundra hit, I still remember the pain of random against my Jeep in Portland, OR last year. During the night, someone poured wet cement down the gas fill neck and of course it got into the tank. I was lucky to spot it before starting it or things would have been a lot worse. We’d been seeing a severe rise in cat thefts in the neighborhood and I was sure we’d be next. The cement was enough and still cost us a whole tank of gas and new fuel pump, plus the day out on the street dropping a full tank. My Tundra has a 6 inch lift so pretty easy access, and I would hate to have this happen since I have to be home in the evenings for my two kids. Loved the video and nice to see the option available to guard against this type of theft. We all work hard for our trucks and to have them hit is a blow to the wallet as well as our sense of security. Thanks for making this video.

I just ordered one from these guys for my 22 Taco. It will be a nice peice of mind. Thankfully most theives are lazy and creatures of opportunity! Any shielding will deter 99% of those vultures! Great video, new follower here 🇨🇦✌️

Great video, well done! I’m a expatriate returning after 5 years in Vietnam. First will buy Prius. Second, purchase and install cat shield. Thanks for warning us about this serious and costly problem. ☮️

My 2009 tundra had the catalytic converter stolen on Christmas Eve. I’ve been waiting about four months now for the California cats to become available. I love the start up on the truck, it sounds like a NASCAR. My neighbors are not pleased when I have to move it early in the morning. I’d like to set it up as a bait truck to find out who is stealing these things. It’s got to stop

I have a base model 2014 Toyota Tacoma. My truck still jacked up from the drivers side when I was leaving in the A.M. I knew immediately what was taken. Thanks for the tip about the paint & etching. And thank GOD, the part is not so much in some places. ( I wish I could some how connect some sensors with lights under there so as soon as they go under it ILLUMINATES so brite they are temporarily blinded!!!)

Really enjoyed the video. I bought a 2020 tundra and haven't been able to get it out the dealer I bought it from. They told me that they needed to replace the cat on the vehicle and keep telling me that the part will be there and that they've installed the parts. I'm for sure going to get something like this whenever the dealer gives me my truck.

I have been looking for information about protecting my Sprinter 4x4 van from cat thieves. . This is awesome and I'm gonna share it with my neighborhood watch group. Thanks for posting.

I really like your video. Instructions are very well explained and very clearly instructed for the best protection. I really appreciate your video and thank you for your advice.

This is awesome!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I like how you showed how to modify your Tundra to incorporate the 2018-2021 rear wing add-ons so that you could protect ALL 4 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS! My dad is currently interested in purchasing some cat shields for his Tundra, so I'm going to send this video to him so that he can use your discount code 👍👍. Great video! 💥💯💥

You definitely gave me the information I need to make a decision on which shield to buy. After watching countless videos, I’ll be ordering this today!

agree....most only sell the front piece and still leaves rear cats accessible. Have to cover transmission area as well as transfer case area to cover both. Thanks for video.

Neighbor next door in 2nd floor rental I slept thru the theft, neighbor heard it but didnt want to get shot we are about 15 feet away. Its summer windows and fans running. At least they didnt bother my sleeping. But her car was sure noisey when she moved it to get towed.

Great video! Both good, actually. I had ½ my cats stolen in Sacramento at a best Western. I had a feeling when having dinner, so I decided to just go and check, it was 4:19 in my mind. Got in truck, hit the key, and immediately knew are started cursing. They had the tool too. Muffler chain cutter. No sound, and no shavings on ground and cut was clean. I'm pretty sure I saw the guy who came back for other half, because I was on balcony talking to my boss in Spanish, I said a few key words in English, and I saw his eyes just go up to me. Then quickly looked away and left. Called police, they said none emergency, hotel manager knew this and tried to talk me out of it. OK, now I know he's in on it too. He tried to play it off .Ike it makes our hotel look bad, but it's not. I just said, really? So your saying I had a good experience here? He then tried to walkit back, he knew this was a company stay. I emphasize at that point this is my truck, not a company truck. And then showed me the hotel guest computer so I could file a report online. Police never came. Was not a priority for them. Guy with big empty backpack never came back for the driver side cat. Drove the rest of the trip like that with passenger side cat missing. Loss of power was noticeable. Missing the o2 sensors made my acceleration lag a lot! I had 2 other teardown jobs on way back to Rancho Cucamonga. And guys found it hard to sleep while on long drives between jobs. Was home for a week, filed insurance and everything, new one installed and back running. Everyone thought I was trying to race them. About 2 years ago I had to change driver side cat because it was failing smog. $2,400 later. That was just one side! No body had a California cat in stock aftermarket, only stealership had it. I am worried again about someone violating my baby again.

My 06” accord had my catalyst stolen. Insurance covered it. Had to get a shield. So far it’s still on the car 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I've been "studying" CAT shields for 5 months now and haven't bought yet because of your exact premise, I still see an opening on almost all the shields, so your video speak to the unspoken issue I think so many are thinking

My Catalytic converter just got stolen this morning during school. I was in class all day from 8am-4:30pm AND COME TO THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT TO FIND MY TRUCK NOW SOUNDS LIKE A JET PLANE. I have a 2020 tundra, very disappointed and am very interested in getting a protection plate. Thanks for the video!

Great video! Nice rig! The catalytic converter on our family SUV was recently stolen. Our family is devastated and our kids cannot believe that there are bad people out there that would do that to their means of transportation to school, church and family trips.

The shielding should be standard from the factory for this reason. I saw on the news about a $2 million dollar catalytic converter theft ring around the St Louis area

I watched your 1st video earlier & thought it was great but this one was easier to find the CAT shields. My daughter just moved back from the South West Houston area with her 2020 biggest tires ever Silverado for heath reasons. She's very concerned about someone stealing her Catalytic Converter & so am I! I own a Toyota Corolla LE & tons of converters are being stolen in my area! Thanks for the great video! Hopefully we will get her shield up as soon as we can afford the cost. But thanks for making the video cuz most people have no idea what to do!

I was part of a search warrant team and we hit a apartment full of tweaks. They had a bag full of cats. Everyone went to jail. Gf is getting a tundra now. That’s what brought me here.

Awesome! I installed a different shield, but really appreciate the DIY video. It helps people.

Thanks for the vid! I had to present at low-ready on a group trying to steal one off of my neighbor’s Tacoma last month in the middle of the night. They had a lookout in a nearby vehicle too. Long story short, they won’t be stealing cats for a while.

About as straight forward and simplified as I have viewed on this topic. Great information and presentation. Headed to the website for more info on makes/models. Thanks.

my 2013 tundra v6 converters were stolen 1 yr ago. all 4 gone.when i first started it up that morning (i had a doctor appt to goto )i thought my trans mission broke ,,,then i looked under and saw 2 cats gone. then i realized i" HAD" 4 ,,, had not moved my truck in 2 days before this happened so i know it was marked to steal by thieves ,,i made a police report but they didnt even come out to the property. thieves left a new sawzall blade on the ground. .i dont let my truck out of site and now park it in a garage every nite..this shield is sold out on the web...the web doesnt state it will fit 6cyl. only v8 ? great vidoe. thankx

Just started looking for solutions for my ‘19 Tundra. This looks to be the most practical one so far since it appears to be removable for exhaust replacement when needed

I haven't really thought about this issues much until I saw your video. Looks like I need to do some research into one.

i just installed my miller cat shield.. no drilling required and good quality.. the instructions werent very good but the install was easy enough to figure out

Man I wish I had these known about these for my tundra my catalytic converters on my passenger side just got the cut off two days ago I'm heading to pep boys this afternoon. Nice job buddy

Great video! Active Duty Navy, was visiting Houston for college national championship football game. My 2021 Ram Rebel had its 2 cats taken in broad daylight from the hotel parking lot. Sucks

I have the same 2014 tundra and I just got my CAT cut after when I got back from my vacation, great video now I know which one to get for my CAT protection. Thank you very much..

I put the small rear cat plates on top of the main plate and used the original countersunk hardware instead of the replacement button head on the back edge. Worked fine.

Thanks sir for taking the time to show the tip for the community. I have a 2000 Tundra. Any recommendations on how to protect it?

Saw your 1st Video...I liked It. Still haven't got my shield yet. Trying to work on it...(Money problems.) I painted cat with heat resistant paint...Marked it with my license plate number and care of my citys police dept...Took some pictures on cell phone. Slow process...I live in Cali and I saw a video that Gavin Newsom supposedly made it illegal for recycle centers to buy any more Cats without proper paperwork or Identification numbers...Just sharing that with you good people.....and my friend on the video...

Just found out about this problem. Just got a 2012 Tundra. Will definitely be needing this. Enjoyed this video as well the previous. Will be checking out your others. Wish you the best brother.

Excellent demo video! Best of all, NO MUSIC to hurt my ears, what joy! 5:45 - What is that jacket on your Catalytic Converter? Noise or heat shield? Looks like a factory install. Painted black. Very nice install! Looks neat and will prevent dirt as well. Too bad they don't make one for the Toyota Yaris or the Ford Econoline earlier models - I have an RV.

Excellent vid, I can appreciate that pneumatic lift as well.....

Thanks for the directions. Putting this on my 2021 TRD PRO in the morning.

Well Done Donny, as I got 2010 Toyata Tundra SR5 and trying to search to cover my Catalytic Converter.

After being hit 3 total times with 2 different Tundras, I finally just ordered one for my 2019 Tundra with your coupon code. Thanks for the info!

I wish I would have saw this in June it now August and my truck is still not fix the part is not coming in until October Thanks for the info

Hi, thanks for sharing with those of us who do wonder is today will be the day my cat will be stolen, as for me mines were stolen twice off my 2005 Tundra. I now own a 2011 with 4 cats I sure hope I can get this done soon Thanks again for your time and I do believe I can speak for many. Take care and stay safe

Great video and very thorough information installing catalytic converter I would not figure how install it and this would be get a shield catalytic to protect from stealing my Toyota thundra I love my truck! Awesome!

Great video. I just ordered the shield you recommended in the first video (the one you took off). Would I be able to just the rear shields with that shield? Thanks for all the info

Great video installed my 2 today thanks

Thank you for this video. You painted your cc black right? Is this so that it would be less conspicuous? Thank you!

I live in a rough neighborhood and my 2018 tundra cat has been stollen before. I think the shield is great and would like to purchase one so I can sleep better at night.

Awesome video bro! For sure, the theft will move along once they see the protection shield underneath there.

Hey Donny, great video. I also like the Truck lift you use. Can you give us some info on it, or maybe you've shown it in a previous video, that you could give a link to. Much appreciated 👍

can i straight pipe like cat del??? and just add the o2 sensors ? my 2020 tundra cat were just stolen and its gonna cost a fortune, if i straight pipe and add sensors it will 500$... would i have mechanical issues ?

Hi, just got myself a tundra and had it parked in the street. Unfortunately I had my 2 cats on my right side stolen 2 days ago. It really upset me to the point where I wanted to go catless, but after researching different avenues of protection and seeing your video, I decided to go ahead and get new cats and install this piece with the rear shield modification. I also bought the cat eye alarm and cat strap for added protection with painted cats. I'd love this see the thieves face when he tries again. Thanks for the info and video.

Had the pleasure of having the cats stolen on my 2015 Tacoma 2 1/2 weeks ago. OEM cats on backorder ~2-3 months. Thinking if I should opt for an anti-theft device or simply install an aftermarket exhaust for the year and store the OEM exhaust system in the garage, and swap them out come time for emissions. A bit more of a hassle, but gets rid of the problem altogether. Imo, better than a thief damaging the anti-theft device in an attempt to steal the cats. From what I've read, some have even damaged the vehicles that do have the anti-theft device out of spite.

One of the best security device shield! I believe once they see this they would just go away! Looks like it covers all openings.

I believe there are much better options out there for plates. The plate you had was fine, maybe just a little longer would have been perfect.

I installed a MillerCat shield on my Prius. I filled screw sockets with epoxy to make it a little harder to remove the shield. I figure if I need to remove the screws I would burn the epoxy out with a torch. You can by the tamper proof bits to remove the screws any where and so can the thief.

Nice ! its good to know theres some product to protect catalytic . i have 2004 toyota Siquioa DX i want to know if you have shield for this model . thanks

I just got my 02 Sequoia back from the dealership yesterday so this is recent but 3 weeks ago I had both cats stolen plus a cut transmission cooler line in the process while I was at work, I work at a electronics testing equipment manufacturers headquarters which should be semi secure (cameras and roving patrol) area. And the parking lot is pretty much baren as most people at the headquarters building are still working remotely. Here is the kicker, I was actually looking into making my own as there is only one company that makes any protection for the 1st gen tundra/sequoia and it is an actual skid plate, they are selling out like hot cakes because of that and also had just jacked up their prices because of material cost and demand. So it is on order now and it will be in between 3-5 weeks right now before I actually see them.

Awesome video you dont happen to know if that company makes shields for 2006 sequoia . I had one of my catalytic converter stolen .

Great vid. My name is Donny too. Had all 4 stole at ups parking lot couple weeks ago. Totally sucks. Looking for good protection so it doesn't happen again. 2012 tundra. A used one would be awesome. They are kinda pricey

0:26.. Not sure what the problem is. That sounds awesome!

I just wondering the shield that you're using compatible with the TRD skid plate?

I was about to leave work on a hot Friday afternoon ready to get my weekend started; I turned on my Tundras auto start to get the AC on and immediately new I’d been robbed by the sound of it. Spent the last 4 weeks battling with insurance company to pay for oem parts instead of aftermarket. Just got my truck back yesterday. If I ever walk up on someone doing this again… anyways thanks for the advise. Does this shield provide full coverage for the rear converters as well. They still looked exposed in the back end?

Thanks for all the great information!

Hey bud how are you. I don’t know if you would be able to help me but I wanted to tell you I have an Avital system on a 2012 Honda Pilot. Every once and a while the remote start stops working and it beeps twice when you lock it. I would have to take it to a far away place where I got it installed at when that happens. Also do you know how to turn off the chirp and keep the horn. Do you know how to turn off passive arming. The headlights don’t flash or anything either when unlocking, locking, or even when the alarm goes off. As I said is there a way I could fix the remote start when it doesn’t work and beeps twice when arming. Thank you so much and have a good day.

Question? Does the package include the front shield or is it sold separately? Didn’t see it on the cat miller web site. Thanks for sharing. Definitely want the whole protection.

What about when you take the car to the dealer for maintenance, would they have a problem with the shield? I have a 2018 RAV4 is there a different shield for smaller SUV?

I installed just the single shield on mine. The one you originally had on. But i noticed it does get hotter underneath with no ventilation. What do you think will it damage anything?

I live in the Houston area and had my cats stolen from my 2013 tundra 3x last year. I had the basic shield installed after the 1st attempt but it apparently didn't do the job. I am glad to come across your video but I am at the point where I don't want to even deal with my truck anymore. Unfortunately, I love trucks so it's always a possibility to get cats stolen from my next truck choice. Decisions, decisions.

So by the looks of it this shield will only fit a stock suspension then? I have a 2019 SR5 4X4 TRD Sport with a 5" Pro Comp lift installed. It has after market cross members as part of the lift kit.

Mine was stole on May 8th while I was parked in an ER parking lot while I was at the hospital. Still waiting on repairs.

What I want to know is what are our legislators doing to put an end to this. Thieves won't steal what they can't sell. Laws have been put in place to curb the theft of copper with some effect. So where are the laws for the cats? Scrap dealers won't buy the cats if it means going to jail. Every cat was or is mounted to a vehicle with a registered owner so when someone brings cats to a scrapper they should be required to etch the VIN from said vehicle on every cat that is brought in for scrap and it should then be checked against a data base for recently stolen cats. Anyone bringing in large amounts of cats without a legitimate reason such as being the owner of a muffler shop or a wrecking yard should be denied and investigated. Requiring a valid DL or state ID to accompany any and all cats being recycled and putting a limit on how many cats one can recycle in a given year would do more to stop the thefts then any aluminum shield could ever hope to do. Stopping this isn't that hard it just takes some one in congress to write the laws and appropriate the funding for enforcement. If they need money then maybe stop sending it to Ukraine.

Damn I was commenting while you were installing it. Looks pretty cool!

Where can i get that shield from and how much does it cost?? I need one for my tundra

Hey thanks for this video and the first one on this topic -- question tho. your first cover was the TPFI cover that did not cover the rear cats. TPFI now has a "full cover" one solid piece and it looks like it covers more of the rear cats than the Miller cover -- I am just wondering if you have any thoughts on this other TPFI "full cover". THANKS!!

Definitely need to look into something for my 2013 tundra SR5 lifted " open for the taking "

I don't know if you've already done the drawing for the GAW for the shield, but Im currently looking for some kind of protector for my 2000 Tundra, that's lifted a bit so it's definitely a huge target in my area. Any advice on what to do would be helpful!

Any recommendations for 2018 Toyota Highlander and 2006 Toyota Highlander. I’ve been trying to find shields but can’t find any products for highlander models. Thank you for the very informative video!

Hi-- Thanks for the very detailed videos-- Not to be negative... but the back of your cats are still exposed.... I understand that they have to cut both ends to get the cat out.... However... why is the cover still so short that it leaves the cats exposed? What am I missing?... -Thanks :)

God vid. I just got a 2005 tundra, hard to find protection

Had both my cats stolen, just got out of the hospital for prostate surgery and I still have to deal with that issue. I have a 2003 Sequoia let me know the cost.

is there a shield out there for a toyota highlander 2018, thanks for the video

I have an old RAV4 (2003)..you think this will fit?

Donny, I just got a YT recommendation for your videos and ironically, the first suggested video hits on a topic of increasing concern. I'd been thinking about VIN Code etched into the Cat. I think this might be an even better suggestion. Thank you.

Mine was stolen off my Honda CRV. Thank you for this video.

Damn it! I knew I should have bought the rear shields. Mine is a 2011 and they are sold out now.

I have the same shield as your previous one. Can I just order the second piece to cover the rear catalytic converters?

Great video. Is a kit for a 2013 4 cylinder font wheel drive Highlander available?

I got an 05 tundra and went on the website you put in the description and they don’t have any for the 1st Gen tundras. Only Tacoma’s and Prius’s. Gonna have to do some more research see if I can find one for it.

Very interesting video I will definitely getting one for my 2007 tundra ( I love to have the free one from you ) thanks
