Cali raised SS cat shields

After having installed the Cali Raised cat shields AND done my first self-changed oil, I can only say do yourself a huge favor - if you have or can get ramps to put the front wheels on, you'll thank me later! Jack stands would also help, but they just get in the way of doing these two particular projects.

Happy installing!

 

Great tip. I do have a pair of ramps (harbor freight). Being honest, I would have most likely tried to climb under there without them on my first go. I will use the ramps, thanks!

 

Just ordered mine. They’re having a Memorial Day sale so got them for $170, no tax, free shipping.

 

Thanks for choosing us!

 

How much did this extra hardware cost?

 

$10.00

 

I ordered and installed a pair of the Caliraised cat shields on my 2022 T4R on May 2. ….did it in my driveway using my ramps. I am very happy with the product. Hopefully they will be a great deterrent to any low-lifes thinking of crawling under there thinking they are going to just zip off / rip off my cats. It did take several weeks for my kit to arrive after placing my order. No biggy. I think they are well worth it.

 

Thanks for your patience and feedback! Our cat shields are a hot item, and sometimes take a few weeks to get out! We appreciate you choosing us!

 

This is exactly what I did yesterday. Used my ramps in my driveway to get under there. Then discovered two bolts were seized and I couldn’t budge them for the life of me. Bringing it in on Thursday to our local off road shop for an install.

 

Thats a good deal! I wish I would have seen that as I want to get something before having my 4R sit in random parking lots while on vacation this summer.

 

Which two bolts were seized?

 

My bolts were brand new and I still required a breaker bar to loosen them up.

 

Passenger side. The bigger ones that support the tranny. I don't have a breaker bar, maybe that’s why I couldn’t get them.

 

I installed a pair of these today. Ordered at the start of this month: June 2024.

Coverage seems great; they’ll serve their purpose.

2 concerns:
*fitment: the driver's side was a bit off. The shield makes contact with the frame, and the rubber grommet doesn’t contact anything at all. The passenger side seems to line up better.

*hardware: the washers for the large bolts deformed while installing, I needed my vehicle to be usable, so I left them on. I’ll have to remove it all and replace the washers with something stronger than the included pieces of pie crust.

 

Well that's a downer. I was hoping to pick these up in the next week.

 

Just did mine last weekend.
For me, I used a floor jack to gently hold the shields up in place while I got everything started.

 

Don't be put off by one person's review. For the price, there's nothing else that comes close for the fitment and quality.

 

Just ordered a set of shields this morning for peace of mind. My friend called saying his cats were stolen off his Lexus at 9am this morning in the local Home Depot parking lot. Unreal!

 

9am, in public, is insane! Thieves are brave... or stupid
Our shields are a great deterrent against them, and can help slow them down!
