    Dafuq did you need a hacksaw for?

    A 14mm deep well socket, a 10mm socket, flat head screwdriver and a 19mm wrench is all I used.

    I like it. Looks good.
    How much more does it weigh?
    I'm running stock suspension and not sure it will like the added weight?

    I'd say about 150 pounds extra that's just a guess I have the stock suspension for now also.

    Thanks for the write up. I think you may have gotten the old instructions if it called for tin snips? I need to look over our current one and see. I think all that requires trimming is the plastic lining? Shoot me an e-mail if you have time so we can fix the instructions jason@demello-offroad.com

    Not much of a write up I admit I had loftier goals such as taking pics of the plastic pieces that need to be popped out near the bumper mount on newer models. I will send you a email soon.
