“The cat shields appear to be of good quality with a few sharp edges here and there. The biggest issue i have is with the packaging or rather a severe lack there of. The box looked like it had been dropped kicked across the country and sat on by every ups driver and loader from every other state in the union! 2 pieces of heavyweight paper were bunched up and on 1 side of the box doing nothing to protect the shields in transit. Im actually somewhat impressed that all the hardware survived the trip and didnt fall out of the gaping holes in the box. The reinforced CR tape(while a nice touch)didnt do much to keep the box together as there was only a few strands that were intact. (If the tape is water activated, there wasnt much water in the dispenser). Overall, im just happy to have them on the truck.”
“The shields are nice heavy duty metal. There is one rubber bumper for each shield but there are more contact points with the frame that could use a bumper in those areas. The rubber is very soft, so be careful installing the bumpers. I should have used silicon spray, since one of them started splitting apart when installing it. Also, the box was starting to split open when I received the package. Thankfully, everything was still there. The branded tape may look nice, but it doesn't hold the box together very well. Consider improving that to prevent damage or missing parts in the future.
Installation Tip: Don't tighten anything down before all the bolts are threaded. I made this mistake and it took me almost an hour to figure out what I was doing wrong. The other side took me 10 minutes.”
“So far it looks great and easy is install but beware sharp edges and a little bit heavy. Make sure you have it bolted all the way before you let go of it if your underneath if not will cause head injury with gash!! Haha!! But I like it I like it!!”
“Was a very easy install without needing to lift the truck up. Was installed on a TRD OffRoad 4x4 with stock tires. Watch out for installing the brace back with the stock bolts!! Use a hand ratchet!!! My Dewalt atomic tore the head right off the bolt.”
