My Kitty got a new leash

seeing people now know my dads serious about things haha this is what we came up with.
diamond plate bolted and tacked/ welded to the frame and curved up with the pipe (not just flat if you can tell)
it is impossible to cut the front side of the cat pipe without having this off first, thats the idea

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just run a full skid between the crossmembers?
 
Kball, I applaud your effort. Two things I'm curious about: Does it make any noise when you drive? How hard are the clamps, would a sawzall not cut through them?

So far I haven't driven it much but I have not heard anything. Radio off and windows down - nothing. But... like I said to Singtoe earlier, if I get on some washboard road that might get the chain going. But in offroad circumstances it wouldn't bother me.

As far as how hard are the clamps? I dont' know. Like I said at the beginning this is mainly a visual detterent. Just like a club on a steering wheel. Really doesn't do much but slow them down so many seconds.

Cutting through the cat itself on the inside of the clamps or through the clamps itself will take longer than the thin exhaust pipe.
 
JUST WONDERING IF FULL SKID PLATE SET WILL PROTECT CATS?
MY TRUCK IS ALWAYS PARKED IN GARAGE EXEPT MY WORK PARKING LOT.
I HOPE THAT I WILL NEVER WALK ON THEIF, OTHERWISE I WILL BE arrested for sure,I hate those with no respect to someone else property.steel toe boots can do a lot of damage to human flesh.
 
Yea?? I never understood this sudden increase in stolen cats?

It's not a sudden increase that got me to do this. It was Suprareal's thread that brought it to close to home for me.

Skidplates that I've seen may cover the cat partially but not completely. Oh and sawzalls will cut them too!
 
Just curious. Why didnt you just tack weld a section of chain to either side of the crossmember instead of wrapping it around? Kudos on making a dettterent.

That is a good idea too. I didn't really consider it. I was thinking that I wanted to be able to take it off so I didn't want to weld anything directly to the truck.

Then I guess best protection would be comprehensive insurance with low deductible., OR A pitbull chained to the vehicle , too bad I CANT JUST SHOOT THE THEIF.
 
i just wanna see the guys face when he gets under there, see's the chain... Maybe it would at least give him a change of heart and give you some respect.
 
I just have a 10 dollar bill strapped down there with a picture I got offline of a man and like 15 kids with the caption "I dont have the money to replace this if stolen"
 
Come on man. I volunteer many, many hours to get people to understand what Pit Bull type dogs are all about. I'm sure you meant no harm but please be careful with what you say, makes my efforts that much harder.

JUST LIKE A GOOD DOG SUPPOSE TO BE- PROTECTIVE OF OWNER PROPERTY, NOT NECESSARY PITBULL, ROTVELLER WILL DO JUST FINE.

You're grounded from your capslock key.

That would just make it prettier in my opinion. Is that what you mean?This is just to make it so they can't cut the front of it and slide the cat out without taking the plate off. The plate we used Wasent long enough for that, we used just what we had around.

And way to go with the COMPLETELY IGNORANT COMMENT ABOUT PITBULLS??
