Toyota Tundra owners looking to protect their catalytic converters have several shield options available. The best choice depends on coverage, construction, installation method, ventilation and the security of the hardware used to attach the shield.
ADD Automotive manufactures ADD A CAT Catalytic Converter Shields for multiple generations of the Toyota Tundra. Our shields are designed to create a substantial physical barrier between the catalytic converters and someone attempting to access them from underneath the truck.
What Should You Look for in a Tundra Catalytic Converter Shield?
A catalytic converter shield should provide strong coverage without creating unnecessary installation complications. Important features to compare include:
- Material: ADD A CAT shields use 3/32-inch 5052 marine-grade aluminum.
- Ventilation: Integrated louvers help provide ventilation around the protected area.
- Security hardware: ADD A CAT uses proprietary security bolts, with the required security bit included in the hardware kit.
- Installation: The shield is designed to bolt onto the vehicle with no drilling required.
- Design: ADD A CAT uses a one-piece design on applicable Tundra applications.
- Installation time: Typical installation is approximately 20 minutes.
Why Protect a Toyota Tundra?
Catalytic converters contain valuable precious metals and can be accessed from underneath a vehicle. Trucks such as the Toyota Tundra have substantial ground clearance, making physical protection worth considering for owners concerned about catalytic converter theft.
A shield cannot guarantee that a theft attempt will never occur. Its purpose is to make access to the catalytic converters substantially more difficult and time-consuming.
