    received and installed. so easy. I had to go buy a 10 dollar rivet tool though. that slowed the install down, but the directions were the best i have ever seen. pics in color. Redline tuning knows how to run a business.

    Got mine in today too. Anyone else find it a bit odd that the packaging and weight cost $15? I've been getting packages with the same weight for less than $9.

    i didnt mind the shipping since it was packed so well too. Hard tube, bubble wrapped ends, and color directions with pics. Even a ghey-tard like me could install it easy. I know USPS priority could ship it for $6.40, but it would not have gotten here in 3 days.

    I am not too worried about it, since there is another cable on the other side of the tailgate.

    stupid 15 bucks shipping... i'll still probably convince myself to do it (don't worry i was an extra not on the list so i'm not messing up group buy numbers) but that takes away all the savings on the combo.

    anyone get the ez down to work well yet?

    the shipping does suck,but just think if we pd full price we would still be paying 15 for shipping...I put a black heavy duty wire tie on it and is working way better and it seems like it had time to adapt,open and shut it several times,so i am happy again:eek::D
