    How easy is the install? Do you need to cut anything on the truck to make them fit?

    I just got it yesterday, it’s nice for sure. Idk if it’ll stay on full time yet... I’m trying to make this a secondary vehicle so hopefully it can.

    But I’m pretty sure it already has in one of the threads. Plastic and metal expand and contracts differently is something I remember reading and depending on how tight you made the bolts/screws could have s huge impact cold or not. It was also mentioned those worried should reinforce the backside of the shroud w/ a fiberglass patch type kit- iirc

    I’m sure these issues weren’t known immediately but after they were made aware any new buyers had the information to proceed at their discretion. Take your chance and Gamble or reinforce

    Nope. The brackets they provide fit perfectly under the hood. Can open the hood without any rubbing or anything hitting the windshield. Very easy install but gotta be careful not to get your hood out of line. Mine got out of alignment and was a little pain in the ass to get back right. Other than that, nothing to it.

    Finally got all the parts and tool/crimper for the deutsch connectors (25$ for a ratchet crimper on Amazon ftw)
    22DC6056-ED03-49DF-8A19-98CDA43C4DF4.jpg
    I am going to replace the wire harness provide with the cap for the 3rd brake light (it’s just cheap) but I need to order more blue wire 1st.

    AC6977DD-97F4-41C6-B9B6-9E245813864C.jpg
    That’s so much better/cleaner.
    83132F70-1054-4CBD-A339-B88B1EC4F550.jpg
    And just like the wire connector plugs provided for the tailgate and rear camera…
    C94D16C1-BC69-4A9A-84B4-429103D8467B.jpg
    For now both plugs stay in the glovebox (with stock bulbs) but I’ll probably want to get a small type of bag and fit it in the storage with the jack.
