    Bunch of BS. He spent the first install vid praising the thing and influencing sells while not even going through the install issues that he had. Screw that.




    Sorry, but shitty influencers (all of them??) just piss me off.

    I agree. I just found it funny that he had to eat crow and finally admit it's trash.

    I suppose "in small doses" is appropriate there.

    Yeah, but you and all the other nerds clicked his page first and he got $80 in YouTube Bitcoin or whatever. Break the cycle!

    I’ve started pasting in screen captures of YouTube videos that I wish to opine about without rewarding the maker for cynical click-bait.

    Here’s an obligatory shot of my new boots marking up my grab handle. Full Grain Leather…mmmmmmmm

    That is what I do. Don't monetize the crap for them. Sometimes I will watch a few seconds, just long enough to Thumbs Down.

    Yes
    Trash or gold there was one when I bought mine and I will not be satisfied until I have a handle again. I have only reached for it every time I get in or out...

    Update; dealer says they have shipping confirmation on handle and will fix both it and my tail light with water inside when the handle arrives.

    What a ride, and doubt it's over yet

    You are about the only one that we can at least say that the handle will fit when they get it. So, one tiny silver lining.

    I would mismatch the color at this point. Don't care too much what it looks like. Still waiting.

    I have no such assumption. Just that there is only every going to be one mold with no fixes for the earlier issues.

    Do you still have your handle? I have a spare black set with everything BUT the handle. (trim piece, hardware etc. I think even a sticker o_O) I would have to confirm as I opened it only once. It's been in my garage ever since.

    It's free to anyone who wants it. Just pay shipping. I know it's not gray but if you really want to go mismatched...? :anonymous:
