    Just finished the clean up after installing my grill craft insert. Took a few pic's for the 40,000 mile mark. Wired up the two Wolo Bullhorns (red things in the lower grill area) and hooked up the PA speaker. Been a productive weekend.

    I'm a big fan of black wheels. These were very cheap, I have two sets. I even had black wheels on my Harley.

    Hey Tom, :)

    Would you mind taking a pic of your new grill facing a light source? I'm curious as to how well it fits. And do you have any installation tips or things to avoid?

    Thanks,

    Greg

    I can do that tomorrow for you. It wasn't as hard as I thought. There are several write ups here on the forum. I followed the write ups more than the directions that came with the grillcraft.
