Physically shields your expensive catalytic converters from thieves, turning a 60-second "smash and grab" into a loud, difficult, and time-consuming task.
Features a precision-vented design that ensures constant airflow and heat dissipation, protecting your exhaust system without compromising security.
Specifically engineered to bridge the gap between the vehicle frame and RCI Transmission Skid Plate for a complete, 100% gap-free underbody seal.
CNC laser-cut in the USA from heavy-duty 12-gauge steel, providing a high-quality finish and durable barrier against both thieves and trail debris.
Stop Catalytic Theft. Full Underbody Coverage. Seamless Skid Plate Integration.
The Ultimate Theft Deterrent for Your ColoradoProtect your Chevy Colorado from costly theft and underbody damage with the RCI Metalworks Catalytic Guard Kit. In today’s world, catalytic converter theft is a multi-thousand dollar headache that can happen in seconds. This guard provides full coverage, filling the gap between your vehicle frame and transmission skid plate for a seamless security solution.
Precision-engineered in the USA from CNC laser-cut 12ga steel, these guards are designed to tie in perfectly with your RCI underbody armor system. Don't leave your exhaust system exposed to thieves or jagged trail obstacles.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Catalytic converters are high-value targets for thieves, and factory skids leave them completely exposed. A replacement can cost over $2,500 plus weeks of shop time.
The RCI Solution: A rugged 12ga steel barrier that physically blocks access to the converters while maintaining necessary airflow for heat dissipation.
*Requirement: Requires RCI Transmission Skid Plate for installation.
Key Features: Catalytic Security System
Shields delicate exhaust components from on-road debris and off-road hazards like rocks and branches.
The smooth, flat surface allows your truck to slide over obstacles without getting hung up on the exhaust frame.
Installs in minutes using provided hardware when paired with an RCI Transmission Skid Plate.
Custom-formed specifically for the Colorado/Canyon chassis to ensure zero rattles and maximum clearance.
Precision Engineering for Peace of MindUnderbody damage and theft are costly. RCI Metalworks guards are "Over-Engineered" to ensure your truck stays on the road. These guards tie in seamlessly with RCI front and transfer-case skid plates and are even compatible with OEM front skids.
7 lbs Lightweight Strength 12ga Heavy Duty Steel 100% Theft Deterrent USA Manufactured
"After my neighbor's Colorado had its cat cut out overnight, I didn't want to take any chances. I already had the RCI engine skid, so adding the transmission skid and these cat guards was a no-brainer. The fit is incredibly tight, and it covers the exactly where a saw would go. Massive peace of mind when parking at trailheads or in the city."
- David K., GMC Canyon Owner*Theft statistics show Colorado/Canyon models are high-priority targets due to ground clearance.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
No. These guards are designed as an add-on and specifically bolt to the RCI Transmission Skid Plate. They will not function as a standalone product.
RCI guards feature a custom vented design. This ensures that while the converter is physically protected, there is still adequate airflow for heat dissipation, preventing damage to your exhaust components.
Fitment has not yet been verified for the 2.8L Duramax diesel models. Because the diesel exhaust configuration is significantly different from the gas models, we cannot guarantee compatibility.
Minimal. These are designed to be as low-profile as possible while still providing a physical barrier. They sit flush with the frame and transmission skid plate, maintaining your truck's off-road capabilities.
Yes. Each kit includes both the driver-side and passenger-side guards along with all necessary mounting hardware.

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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks

I'm happy with my new racks, it's perfect for that I want.
We are very happy the rack fits the painted roof of our ‘25 Bronco Heritage. Leitner right now might be the only company that makes a rack that fits the painted roof. Typical great Leitner attention to detail

I installed this on my M1102A trailer for organizing my camping gear and mounting my RTT and awning. It was a really easy install and was rock solid containing my gear down rugged dirt roads and washes last week. The sliding rear load bar was great for loading the motorcycles.

I’ve had the full-length rack on my Grenadier for about a year, and it has performed flawlessly. Not only is the design simple and aesthetically pleasing, it is highly practical for carrying any load. I consistently have over 400 lbs mounted on my rack at all times, and even through multiple trips through the washboards of Death Valley at 45 mph, the rack has remained steady and strong, with not one fastener coming loose. I’d buy this rack ten times before I’d consider another brand.
Limited space in bed. Now all my gear sits in the rack above. Made all the difference in what I can fit in this truck!!
needed something low profile but strong. This platform hit it out of the park. Put it on my ARE topper and couldn’t be happier! Assembly instructions could be clearer in showing top versus bottom, but got it together easy enough. Need to show the need for squaring up before mounting. Overall break pleased
