Toyota 1st Gen Tacoma Transmission Skid Plate with FRONT Catalytic Converter Guard (1995-2004)

  Catalytic converter theft is on the rise and is a major problem in many areas. Replacing stolen converters is very expensive and there's always additional damage to the exhaust system to add to the cost of the repair. The converters are easily stolen by simply cutting the exhaust pipes before and after the converter using a cordless sawzall. Take a quick look under your Toyota Tacoma and you'll see how easy it is for a thief to reach and remove your truck's catalytic converters in an amazingly short period of time. Our first gen Toyota Tacoma Cat Guards are designed to prevent access to the exhaust pipes leading into the converters. The idea is to keep a would-be thief from being able to easily cut the exhaust pipes. The longer it takes to remove them, the more likely the thief won't bother and will move onto the next vehicle. In addition, only the inlet pipe needs to be protected because if they can't cut both sides of the converters, they can't get them out.  Mounted to our TA-0003
