    See my build page!
    I just installed mine on Saturday and it was SUPER easy thanks to all @KTJO 4x4 's hard work on this kit. I do have one question...

    When running the wires up the passenger side I noticed that when I got to the muffler, the wires I was following were wrapped in heat shielding. Should I get some for the wires I am running or just tuck them in behind the existing ones and use them as a shield.

    That is what I did, tuck them behind. Or even if you can, run them on the outer side of the frame (where possible) to keep the wires away from as much heat as possible. I will probably give mine a look over once we get some real summer going to see if there's any further abatement necessary to keep the insulators in the right place.

    Not sure how this works but how could I get in contact with you personally to order ( and do you use Zelle) easier for me?

    Well I took my actuator off from my first install three years ago to get ready to convert mine to the Tailgate Lock / Tailgate Opener and I noticed that there has been a couple changes over the years.

    First, the tip of the Actuator has been adjusted from white to black. I guess there must have been a lot of people complain about those white tips. ;) Second thing I noticed was that they switched the wires from side to side. Why? I have no idea. Should be interesting to see if that plays a role in my install or not. Not that it will be a big deal. I’ll just flip the wires if I have to, but I just found it interesting. Sorry, don’t mind my flex wrap and heat shrink, I’m getting my personal dual Actuators and Integrated Harness w/ JST Connectors all ready to install on my truck maybe tomorrow. Then I’m going to remove the old harness from underneath that I installed a long time ago when it was like negative degree weather on the east coast. Lol. Plus, I think I’ve learned a little bit more today about wiring than I knew back then so it will be nice to make it look a bit more professional.

    Keep that wallet handy. Trying to go as fast as I can. It’s not easy when you are waiting on production to take place :) I wish I could push them along myself. Haha
