I don't know... either they thought one side would be enough or I'm wrong and it's something completely different. I'm sure someone else will see the picture and chime in.

Any thoughts? Are others like that as well?
It's a stock piece as far as I can tell. What it's there for, it's hard to say.

Around my area, they wouldn't ask why you did that. They'd just hand you a ticket and probably a court summons, as well as possibly tow your vehicle. Assuming they didn't drag you out of your truck by your throat to begin with.

But I guess that's what you get when 3/4 of your local police force is all 22 year old power tripping rookies...

I am fairly confident that it is a a stock piece also, the answer of heat shield makes sense since the exhaust is on that side.

Now that I have looked at the picture again and I think it is to prevent the muffler from coming in contact with the surface.

It's a Prius deflection device, it keeps the little ***** of pretentious fluff away from the tank and exhaust when you run over them...

So you were asking about the plate and not the link thing bolted to it... I guess reading isn't my strong point.
