Catalytic Converter protection - 2024 802a

[rbrb]

I have searched the site and can't find this information, so I'd appreciate either some help or a pointer to where it's already been discussed.

We just took delivery of a 2024 802a Raptor, and I'm wondering about protecting it from cat theft.

This video seems be be saying the cats are tucked away and safe:

This thread on an older Raptor R seems to imply that they're not. But I didn't buy an older Raptor R, so I don't know if it's relevant:

Catalytic Converter Plate

Catalytic converter theft is up 300% in my neck of the woods. Just installed a Cat Plat on my 2019 Raptor from All Out Offroad. Gives me some insurance.

It's all kind of "blah blah blah Ginger" to me. My husband is the one with a clue, but neither of us is really up on the state of the art with cat theft.




Thanks,

Rachael

It also seems to say "Ranger Raptor"

So that could have something to do with it

Oh... I knew that... I was just testing everyone else. (Thanks!)

So what are people doing about this?

It's not a thing.

I would be more worried about someone stealing the whole truck.

never even heard of this being a thing on raptors.. probably because they are 2 small ones, vs a large unit for most SUVs.. they are kinda tucked up in there, but honestly, i could care less.. id call the insurance company and pay my deductible, but i also dont live around m eth heads..

Easier, quicker, quieter, and much more profit to steal the whole truck.

I'm getting an exhaust installed on my R at the moment and was able to snap this photo. The cat is where the blue box is marked. I probably wouldnt be concerned about it.

There's a giant skid plate on Raptors, nobody is cutting off the cats. They will hit the Toyota parked next to it. Non issue. Not sure why this comes up.

Now the tail lights, you better super glue those suckers down!
