I like the unobtrusive look. I removed the graphics from my RR the day after I got it home. $750 option I didn't want, but that is how the truck came.

I have seen some posts about under hood, lighting, LED strips and such, but decided to go a different route. I only have the bracket made at the moment, and still need to tie it in, but this is what I chose to do. This light was on 1988-1998 GM (and possibly Jeep?) trucks. I added one to my...

HA! I was able to push the backside of that clip through the hole up by the bulkhead, using a “tool“ that I made out of some scrap metal in my garage.

That last freakin’ clip…

Ah, of course. that makes sense (now that my brain is functioning on caffeine).

Yep, I ordered black for my Shelter Green.

Did you just pack it on from the front?

@jacksdad , where you said, "The toughest clips are at the cab side of the bed. A combo of pry tools and flatheads helped work those free.", were you working those clips from under the top cap? I am thinking about expanding spray foam. I would need to be careful, though, and mask off any...

Sounds exactly like mine.

Sadly, I already did it with 5 stars. :-( I did, however, send them a message with pictures this morning.

THAT makes a lot of sense, thank you. I'm not so concerned about the surface rust on the driveshaft (and other bare steel), just a bit surprised that it was already so prevalent. The SS exhaust is disappointing.

If you find amusement in this, that's fine. I have a 40 y.o. 130,000 mile turbo car (D.D. for ~ 115,000 of that) with a full SS exhaust for the last 30 years, and it doesn't look like this exhaust at all. The un-coated driveshaft doesn't either, just slight rust, and no corrosion on on any...

And all the junk in the skid plates? Stuff that looks like salt spray, but only on one side?

I would expect to see some this later, but not already. It was surprising.

I was removing the factory skid plates and saw all this on a truck I picked up in Long Beach CA with 21 miles on it, and drove home ~400 miles. What the heck!

That's what I am going to do. Not a lot, just a bit.

I tried that, but the clip humps it just wouldn't get in. I do have a 20T A-Frame press... ;-D

For those who have installed one of these, how tight was the fit into the new plate? I am having trouble getting mine to pop in, and I'm ready to start grinding. I took some measurements: ~1.51" at the plug clips themselves, squeezed all the way down to the plug ~1.65" on the factory bracket...

Seems exposing the valve stem to damage during off-road driving wouldn't be advised.

IMO, resurrecting some of the old threads to let new folks know about stuff is a good thing.
