Re: catalytic converter thefts...
It wouldnt be that easy to steal an FJ's since they are tucked up a little bit. I know earlier Toyota pickups and 4 Runners have the cat hanging down by the transmission crossmember, easy access and quick to remove. I wonder if the thieves know that every 03 and up full size diesel (Ford Powerstroke, Chevy Duramax, ect) has a really big cat called a Diesel Oxidiation Catalyst. All 08' full size diesels have a DOC and and DPF. A Ford DPF runs around $3,400 due to the size and materials it's made out of. If I had one of those trucks and lived in or parked it in some shady area's I'd throw a spot welt on each nut. In the event you have to remove it for some reason just get out the die grinder.
