That's unfortunate. It seems to me that part of the reason F150s are being targeted would be the relative ease to get underneath to cut out the cat. With a Prius or other smaller hybrid, you would have to jack it up to get to the cat. It seems like it's lifted trucks that would be even more vulnerable.
Yes that is so true. After being under my truck yesterday and exploring options I realized just how easy it would be to cut out. I could do both in seconds. I don't want some Chessy thing though so really want some sort of skid plate Alum.
Wondering how this mod is working for you? I have a powerboost as well and would like to do it to help deter thieves from stealing my Cats. What was involved with the mount modification for the cooling lines? Also is it easy to change the oil by removing the access cover?
This images look like 1/8" plate at most, and since they don't say how thick it is I'm inclined to be sure in my assessment. It probably cost so much due to the labor from all the assembly.
I can attest to the thickness of the talons garage plate. Im testing thier new PB cat cover skid plate and it's thick and heavy as hell.
Since the crossmember that the front of the plate mounts to is lower with a lift kit, I wonder if it just means you would have to attach it from the top somehow, and it might be pretty straight forward?
I have had no problems with it. It’s holding up well. I haven’t changed oil since getting it but it doesn’t look like it will be much of an issue.
