🇺🇸

Trail-Tested Strength

Crafted from CNC laser-cut heavy-gauge steel to protect vulnerable exhaust pipes and O2 sensors from jagged rocks, stumps, and off-road debris.

🔒

Description

RCI Offroad Catalytic Converter Guard Kit - Toyota 2007+ Tundra & 2008+ Sequoia

Seamless Anti-Theft Defense. CNC Laser Cut Steel. 100% Made in the USA.

The Ultimate Shield Against Catalytic Theft

Protect your Toyota Tundra or Sequoia from the surging epidemic of catalytic converter theft with the RCI Metalworks Catalytic Guard Kit. This heavy-duty addition provides full coverage, filling the vulnerable gap between the vehicle frame and the transmission skid plate for a seamless, impenetrable solution.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, these guards are custom-fit to follow the contours of your exhaust system. Whether you are navigating tight trails or parking in high-risk urban areas, RCI provides the peace of mind that your investment is safe from both thieves and off-road debris.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Catalytic converter theft happens in seconds, costing upwards of $5,000 in repairs and leaving your truck undrivable for weeks.
The RCI Solution: We use CNC Laser Cut 10-12 Gauge Steel to create a physical barrier. Once installed, these guards cannot be removed without removing the entire transmission skid plate, making theft nearly impossible.

Key Features: RCI Catalytic Defense

Total Theft Deterrent

Fills the frame-to-skid gap, physically blocking access to exhaust pipes and preventing "cut-and-run" thefts.

Thermal Airflow Design

Strategic venting ensures adequate heat dissipation and airflow, preventing exhaust components from overheating.

Anti-Tamper Installation

Once the transmission skid plate is bolted on, the guards are locked in place and cannot be bypassed by thieves.

Reinforced Strength

By tying into the transmission skid plate, these guards increase the overall rigidity and strength of your underbody armor.

Precision Engineering

CNC laser-cut for a custom fit that matches your specific Tundra or Sequoia generation for a rattle-free finish.

Trail Protection

Protects exposed catalytic converters and O2 sensors from high-centering on rocks or trail debris.

Over-Engineered in the USA

RCI doesn't compromise. These guards are built from 10ga or 12ga heavy-duty steel to ensure they can withstand both physical attacks from power tools and impacts on the trail. Finished in a multi-stage black powder coat, they are designed to resist corrosion and harsh environments.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"After hearing about Tundra catalytic thefts every day in my area, I bought the RCI guards. The installation was a breeze with my RCI transmission skid. The fit is perfect and the vents keep everything cool. Now I park at the airport or downtown without that sinking feeling in my stomach."

- Mark T., Tundra Owner
Installation Requirement

RCI Compatibility: These guards require an RCI Transmission Skid Plate for installation. They tie directly into the skid plate to form a complete security cage.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will these fit my Tundra if I don't have RCI skid plates?

No. These guards are specifically designed as an add-on to the RCI Transmission Skid Plate. They rely on the skid plate's existing mounting points and structure to lock the guards in place.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

For most newer RCI Transmission Skid Plates (manufactured after June 2022), it is a direct bolt-on. For plates manufactured prior to June 2022, minor drilling into the skid plate (not the vehicle frame) may be required.

+ Does this work with Hybrid 2022+ Tundras?

Yes, we offer a specific Hybrid Guard Kit. It is constructed from 12-gauge steel to provide the necessary clearance for hybrid-specific electrical lines and components while maintaining maximum security.

+ Will these rattle when driving or off-roading?

No. Because these are precision CNC laser-cut and bolt directly into multiple points on the frame-and-skid system, they provide a rock-solid, rattle-free fitment even on washboard roads.

+ Are these compatible with my factory TRD engine skid plate?

Yes. RCI guards are designed to tie in seamlessly with our transmission skids, which are fully compatible with Toyota TRD engine skid plates.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
