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 4Runner 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur third gen Toyota 4Runner 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMounted to our TA-0006 Transfer Case Skid Plate using carriage bolts, the guards can't be easily unbolted and make it much more difficult to reach the converters. The skid plate itself is made from 3\/16\" thick steel and the guards are made from 1\/8\" thick steel that is laser cut and CNC folded for consistent quality and fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur Toyota 4Runner Cat Guards are designed to prevent a would-be thief from walking away with your truck's expensive catalytic converters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are finished in an environmentally friendly, and durable, \u003cstrong\u003eSemi-Gloss Black\u003c\/strong\u003e powder coating with a zinc primer coat for long term corrosion resistance. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey are not available in orange.\u003c\/strong\u003e The orange color is just to make them easier to see in the photos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSET INCLUDES: TA-0006 and TA-0013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Gloss Black\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePowder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Grade 5 zinc plated hardware is included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 40\u003c\/span\u003e lbs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes NOT fit 2WD models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/7908\/1925\/files\/TA-0011-Instructions.pdf?v=1687106927\" title=\"Installation Instructions for TA-0011\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Shipping Policy\" href=\"https:\/\/skidrowoffroad.com\/policies\/shipping-policy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #d9121f;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/7908\/1925\/files\/Qualifies_for_Free_Shipping-3_480x480.jpg?v=1646413078\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skid Row Offroad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46174407327941,"sku":"TA-0011","price":359.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/7908\/1925\/files\/TA-0013-installed_81594427-7302-4a3e-abe5-dd23f2e39355.jpg?v=1685396302","url":"https:\/\/skidrowoffroad.com\/products\/toyota-3rd-gen-4runner-transfer-case-skid-plate-with-rear-catalytic-converter-guard-1996-2002-scratch-dent","provider":"Skid Row Offroad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
