    It helps having smaller hands...so if you're a "Burley Man" with ginormous hands, it's going to be tough.

    I did this task during the sunny day of the workweek and still needed my torch (flashlight) to see up in there!

    Lol! Would be better off buying some old mess hall trays at a DLA auction and strapping them under the tank! I was checking it out yesterday when I was crawling around under the truck. Don’t feel real good about it. Back to the RCI website…o_O

    COOL Stuff I can't afford . . . But I bought anyway!
    These are the energy mounts. But the alpine designs CMR gives the option to buy standard or upgraded when you buy the CMR kit. I opted to go with the standard initially and regretted it within a week. Haha

    I didn’t pose the question but was thinking “how do you clean that?”. Maybe it can be removed and tossed in the wash?

    I have not installed the grill yet...but it sounds like you found a workaround for this little flaw. Doesn't it come with some screws?

    You've had no issues with the garnish that came with the Empyre Grill?

    Did you add flathead washer (to each side) to offset the angle of the TSS? (Suggested on the site YouTube video)

    I'm debating whether to wait until I schedule the TDR Lift at the dealership. I may just sell the grill...not sure yet.

    He said he stapled it on so it's not going to be convenient to remove.

    Oh, that’s not good. I hope nobody mistakes it for an overheated dog and breaks a window trying to save it!

    I was still able to pinch a little washer in that space to offset the TSS angle. It’s only held there by pressure though, so only time will tell if it stays put. I’ve had zero issues with the TSS’s operation thus far..

    COOL Stuff I can't afford . . . But I bought anyway!
    the ome arms really won’t give much additional caster. And the op was right, SPC arms give hands down the most adjustment and maintain a sealed ball joint for minimal maintenance. If you’re gonna run 35’s a cmc is probably not going to me enough. You’ll more than likely need a full CMR. 440B5BCA-0286-44AF-9BA7-C72093AC1659.jpg
    Spc’s with a 3” lift, cmr, and 34’s

    Are you running spacers? Do you have front and side pics? TIA and thanks for the advice. Just want to plan ahead and do it right the first time! :thumbsup:
