    lol I did this install yesterday. Just need to get past the fear of drilling the holes, and with the right tools( i.e. power drill, automatic center punch, etc.) everything else is smooth sailing :thumbsup:. Just make sure you use the guide so you're not guessing where to drill the holes. And take your time and read the instruction manual. Prior to drilling say a little prayer and your gtg:thumbsup::fingerscrossed:
    #tip - prior to drilling the holes, fully assemble the bed extender for test fitting, and put it on the tail gate to see exactly where everything lines up, makes it easier to see if your brackets holes on the template are at the right height and location in relation to the bed extender, & adjust accordingly if needed . Good luck!
