Heavy Duty Version Available for 4WD
Due to popular demand, we now have an HD version of the 4WD model available, now with thicker 12 gauge 304 stainless steel!
Material: 304 Stainless Steel | 12 Gauge
Notes: Shield may have some surface imperfections. Professional installation recommended. Our shield will not work with Lift Kits that modify the chassis crossmember! Tacoma shields are designed with the assumption that your vehicle has a Radiator Support Splash Shield installed (Toyota Part Number 51406-04020). Package includes Cat Shield, tamper-proof hardware kit, Cat Shield Protected sticker, and detailed installation guide.
Our Fitment Guarantee: While we do our best to test and verify every model, it is impossible to know for sure. We guarantee that if your vehicle is listed on the fitment table and you purchased the right shield for your vehicle but the shield does not fit, we will issue a full refund including return shipping on the product. The vehicle must have the original converter and no modifications to the suspension. If you are unsure about your fitment, please send photos to support@millercat.com to verify fitment before purchase.

Will the shield interfere with maintenance such as engine oil and transmission fluid changes?
All Miller CAT Cat Shields will not interfere with your oil changes. Some vehicles will require the shield to be removed for transmission fluid changes. Check your maintenance schedule on how frequently to change your transmission fluid. Toyota's recommendation is 30-60k miles and 60-100k miles depending on your vehicle and driving habits.
Does this shield cause the converter to overheat?
No, our shields will not cause overheating or damage to your vehicle. In addition to shields, we manufacture catalytic converters, so we know how to protect them without damaging the converter or your vehicle. Read about this in more detail.

We know you can’t wait long to protect your converters when theft is so rampant. Here at Miller CAT, our shields are made to stock and ready to ship. Unlike many other companies that make shields to order, we fulfill orders in 1-2 business days and if possible, on the same day.
Free shipping is available to the lower 48 States. Please note that we cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes. Orders will take 1-2 business days to fulfill.

We do NOT guarantee our product against theft. Cat Shields are a deterrence device that are meant to discourage theft and/or make it more difficult for thieves to steal your converter. Given the right tools, technique or time, a thief can still take your converter. However, by having a shield, you are significantly increasing your protection against converter theft. Similar to a car or home alarm, you are making thieves second-guess themselves and consider moving onto another target. Deterrence works and we have countless customer accounts and video evidence of derailed converter theft.
After watching a YouTube video was very easy to install my cat shield. Hopefully it will keep my converters safe from thieves.
I purchased the aluminum version for my 2017 Tacoma 2-wheel drive.
Installation was pretty easy and took me about two hours, working by myself in my garage. The unit came with security bolts, two security bits, a tube of thread lock, and a small installation booklet. The only thing I had to remove beforehand was a couple of diagonal braces, which was indicated in the installation booklet. The braces then go back into place when mounting the cover. All the included security screws and brackets fit as designed, and drilling additional holes was not necessary. The mounting instructions are pretty simple, only three pages, and also provide torque specs. (Be careful not to over-tighten.) I raised up my truck using ramps and jack stands, and I used a 5-gallon bucket to set the cover on while I lined up the holes. It all worked and fit well and is a pretty good design. No cramming or jamming was needed. The unit isn't foolproof, but hopefully provides enough of a deterrent that a cat thief moves on. Money well spent for me and priced reasonably. And no bloody knuckles, thanks MillerCat. :-)
Came promptly and properly packaged in excellent condition! Assembly and install about an hour with no problems. Used a floor jack to position (12ga model) Looks great and a great theft deterrent! Highly recommend it!
Excellent delivery. Perfect fit. It took the local muffler shop less than 30 minutes to install.
The usual slight struggle to get installed. Driver side of the shield could use a a relief/ bead design on the metal to stiffen the lower and side panels. There is a bit of flex o that side.
