    Below is a picture of what is included in the package. All hardware is stainless steel and uses a hex drive to make it harder to remove for a little extra security. The installation is not difficult and will take most people about half an hour to an hour. There are pictures and instructions on how to install the bracket in the second post in this thread. I have designed the bracket to use a nylon nut to hold the bracket on as I feel it provides a much sturdier mount then the factory Toyota bracket which is just surface screwed in through the bumper skin.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Please start a conversation if you are interested in purchasing one and we can work out the details.

    Awesome product. Clean look as well. install was a breeze, despite my slow and steady approach for fear of snapping something off the bumper. Thanks Aaron!!

    Thank you Aaron for fast ordering process. Install took me 10 minutes I don't think it can take 30 unless you don't know how to take the grill off. Simple and much better than stock function and look.

    Zero problems with the installation. As a matter of fact, I didn't even remove the grill... long arms let me simply reach down to secure the lock nuts with a small box wrench. I'd say all told it was probably 30 minutes to remove the big ugly and install the best simplest upgrade to the truck yet! I did add Loctite and 1/4" lock washers to the bolts that fasten the licence plate, out of paranoia. It's kind of ridiculous that something like this product wasn't stock from the engineers at Toyota!
