    Shout out to @Tigger6652 for the grab handle! Really wanted one of these but never would have ordered from the company.

    Nut came off the clip so I used hot glue to hold it on with a washer under it. Went on the back side and used a 10mm wrench to hold the nut after it was started to tighten it up. Blue loctite on the bolts. Started each a little then tightened it right up. Only issue i ran in to with the install. Should have taken pics during...

    I order mine 6 weeks ago and arrived the other day. No issues besides taking a while to line the bolts up. Looks factory.

    But does it really look factory? Sit in the drivers seat and VERY CAREFULLY study each. I bet you find some differences in color, texture. Hard to notice with a quick glance, but if you stare at both, you may see what I mean. Anyone jumping in your truck wont notice, but they are not exact. Mine arent.

    Just stopped by to say I received my package. The box looks “ok”. Ordered sometime around the last week of March/first week of April. Have not had the opportunity to open it up and take a look at contents yet.

    Welp, went to install mine yesterday and either the bolts are too small or the clip is too large.

    Message sent in, I don't expect a reply.

    The “srs airbag” lettering on mine is curved, as if the plastic was bent after the letters. But the passenger is straight

    The bolts & clip nut should be M6. Some folks got a M8 clip nut with their hardware, instead of the correct 6mm size.

    I got mine in a little over a week ago. Ordered at the end of April I think it was.
    Other than the bolt covers being a little loose(any suggestions? Tried bending the clips a little more but still looser than it should be and I imagine the next bump I hit they'll come off again) and it being a pain in the ass to get the bolts lined up everything worked out. Took maybe 45 minutes and I had all the correct parts

    Hey, Folks.

    @CHSS75 received two lower covers. Can anyone help out with the exchange?

    He's on the list in the 1st Post.


    KTJO 4x4 continues to disappoint.
