My plate looked the same. I watched the dealer install mine. That black bracket is important to keep rocks etc from hitting the cooler. They didn’t removed the entire front number. They removed my front two wheels and unscrewed some bolts under the wheel well which allowed them to pull the front number out far enough to get those two bolts in. I’d had for you to have a cooler problem and then not cover it because that piece isn’t installed. Only took them about 2hrs to install it all.

Oh ok that makes sense. I'm not sure how well that will stop rocks though since it's more towards the bottom since it cant block air flow. But if I ever do led lighting behind the grill or do anything that requires me to access that area I'll definitely just go ahead and bolt it in.

You still helped me figure out where it goes. What do you think about bolting it to the plate and sliding it into place without doing the top bolts behind the bumper?

@robertsexton9416 it's worth a try and just see how secure it feels.

That thing is SICK! Awesome stuff with the truck Tony. You have done a great job on that beauty. I couldn't help but notice the shelf behind you in the opening segment. Looks like there are some high-end detailing products in bulk there. Looks like I see P&S, Adams, 3D, and some Wolfgang stuff. Do you do pro detailing as well??

@TonyTheTechnician 10 ай бұрын

Thank you. I really appreciate it! Good eyes haha ya when I first started Detailing I bought a bunch of chemical guys stuff and realized I should have done more research. I still use some products from them like the total interior, silk shine, quick leather detailer and fabric clean but its taking me awhile to get rid of the other stuff i bought before switching to another brand. But other then that I like the meguiars detailer line up. P&S has been awesome. I like 3d as well. I used to detail a decent amount but since starting my own business I don't do it that often anymore.

No I have not. It's probably one of the only things that I did to the truck that didn't effect the mileage. Now everything else I've done to the truck now has definitely hurt the mileage lol

I can't remember what I started with maybe 800 then worked my way up to 2000 with soap and water. Then I used metal polish. I could have made it alot nice if I would have done it for longer but figured it was good enough for a skid plate
