    Eastwood makes the kit.

    so after playing with it, I took a couple of before and after below. 7/10 rating. Would buy again.

    Pros: works great on round dings.
    Very affordable
    User friendly

    Cons:Don’t have it perfected on the oblonged/trail scar dents yet. I’m sure it will work great just didn’t get it figured out in my first swipe at it today.
    Alcohol doesn’t work as well as let on to get the glue off. Switched to a goo b gone/alcohol one-two combo and achieved the desired result.

    I thought about going this route recently. One of my little LED's on my driver side rear is slowly going out. It works sometimes and other times not.
    Both your LED lights still working good?

    I had purchased some slide-insert things a few years back that were pre threaded and fit in the rail. Used those and a 5/16 x 1 bolt.

    No... paid the exhaust shop to do it. I made a wooden mock up so I knew what angles to bend and measurements.

    Am used to using bosch micro edge but in the winter they get full of ice and snow (like you said). New to me 2015 has oem sightline and I will try them through the snow. Cleaned the rubber today with some alcohol to reduce some squeeling.

    Finally got the Plano mounted. Seems like such a simple job, but honestly tedious and slightly infuriating. Will post more when the suns out, but used t slot nuts in the rails for mounting.

    My son is a insurance adjuster for Geico. He just moved from the total loss claim department about a week ago.

    I did this exact same thing at the start of the summer. works well and I used a couple inch of hose to insulate it so it wouldn't rattle. Warning though airing up all 4 tires gets the hose super hot!

    Setting the truck up as a mobile office. Mounted the DC converter on the Molle panel so I can run the laptop in the cab, pulling off the phone as a hotspot.

    Drove 260 miles with 12 ft aluminum extrusions out the back. Got 20 mpg with this setup!
