The cats also seem too big to come out unless most of the main plate is already gone, so even though getting the side plates off allows you to access the cats, it doesn't seem like they'd be able to be removed if the main plate is still there.AFe Power Direct Fit Catalytic Converter Replacement For 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 Toyota 4Runner 3.4L V6 While someone could of course still cut through the plate, it would take a good chunk of time to do so, and then more time to remove the cut pieces. The center hole is open to allow the frame to drain water, and there are also holes on the outer sides of the other two holes to allow further draining to prevent water pooling there. I didn't like using just one bolt on the front, so I borrowed some scrap aluminum and cut a couple strips to be able to run bolts through two of the drain holes instead of just one. I had to borrow a saw to cut the end down to shorten it, then trim the outer corners down to clear the rounded inside edges on the Pro skid. As you can see in the design, it seems like they may have tried to make it fit the notch in the Pro skid, but didn't quite succeed because the protruding section is too large. ![]() The real hassle was getting it to work with the Pro skidplate though. The side plates mount with bolts that use a standard sized torx head, but with a raised part in the center to make them only work with the special bit the plate came with. I was able to do it without drilling the frame, there are plenty enough bolt points to keep it structurally sound and they'd be quite time consuming to all remove so I'm not concerned about that. I installed the CCM plate under mine, half to protect the cats and half to keep out branches and gravel that get thrown up by the roads I drive on. ![]()
