Great job! I simply prevent CAT theft by removing them. Can't be stolen if they not there! ( Warring: In the state of California you can be put to death for modifying your car, I don't think they even allow bumper stickers there. It is down right SCARRY there! ) .. Again, you are doing great with your videos!

If you have the old version of the CatShield, there are ways to modify the shield to countersink the bolts so you don't have to buy the new version. Option 1: weld a thick stainless steel ring (washer) around each bolt head. Option 2: Take the shield to a shop with a hydraulic press and use a small dimple die to press a recessed section around the bolt hole. As long as thieves can't cut the entire bolt head off, then they can't remove the shield.

I installed the earlier version based on Chloe's earlier vid last year. I'm happy with the earlier stainless cat guard - at least it slows down, possibly discourages the perp from your vehicle. Park smart, garage when possible and put the key fobs to sleep mode if you have push button start. An affordable upgrade plan for existing MillerCat owners would certainly be an incentive to upgrade.

Just brought my new Taco Sport home this month, loving the channel, thanks! This will be my first major mod. I had my cat converter stolen from my first gen Tacoma while I was at work, it probably took them 2 or 3 minutes to get under the truck and unscrew the bolts. I ended up tack welding the bolts on back then. This is a much better solution!

i just bought a cat shield for my Tundra n it only has 4 screws. i love how urs have multiple screws n the bar to prevent thieves from using a PRY BAR to break the screws So once my cat shield arrives, i'ld have to add chain o bicycle cables to secure both ends thru the pre-cut vent holes to prevent thieves from using PRY BAR to break the 4 screws n steal both my cat n shield The shield that i got covers ALL 4cats, most shields covers only 2 cats. !/4" thick Aluminum weighing 35 lbs. it comes with 4 Allen bolts, washers, screws, so i need to buy some security screws o leave it since ill be using chain/bike cables to lock the shield for added security. The 4 screws not adequate to prevent thieves from using Pry Bar to break it ✌✌

My co worker had a shield on his Prius and they still stole the Cat. I also have this shield on my Tacoma but I garage mine now. I would say if you don't have access to a garage, make it as inconvenient for them as possible. Maybe put something under your truck so they can't get under, cover it, or do something along those lines.

Nothing will ever keep anyone out completely if they have the skills and right tools for the job. The entire purpose of stuff like this is to just add an extra layer of security and to add more time to the amount it takes to steal. But then again if you're in NY or CA most people would probably just ignore the guy under your truck cutting a metal box apart. :/

The thief will crawl under your truck with a Sawzall, then see the shield and need to go grab the impact driver and bit. If you watch cat theft videos, they're in and out within 2 minutes. It's a not perfect, but a decent detriment.

Like any theft deterrent its just that. Unless you have a guard dog around your car at all times someone determined enough can steal anything. But do you really think someone would waste that amount of time to steal one Cat from a vehicle with this installed instead of just moving along to another one that is far easier. Also they are probably doing a lot in one time period.
