    Lol, dayum!

    I've got one of these mounted on my bumper & use an adapter to convert back to 4-pin. Never had an issue with it & is nice to not have to reach under the bed anymore.

    Dremel fixes everything. And this plug has fancy little lights under it.

    Cheap spacers and blocks, 33's, poor man upgrades.

    I’ve had to do a few mods at work, imagine cutting a 4 inch hole on an airplane that had to be spot on. I wouldn’t hesitate cutting the roof if I needed to.

    Pro Tip: Go to Home Depot and buy a black ABS Toilet Flange and use it as a seal driver for the rear main seal. Worked wonders when I did my rear main seal.

    You also need one of those shaft-type seal removers. A normal seal remover or prybar will mar the mating surface.
