    2 screws on each side of the surround. Only 4 total holding the grille. Then start on one side, working the clips loose, heat encouraged.

    So how is the look of the snug? I've always had ARE and it seems they are a little small compared to the cab.

    I'm going to make that upgrade next year so starting to look for info now

    Got the doode dynamics ss3 sport SAE driving lights installed. I quickly wired them up with a relay to the high beams. I will eventually wire them to a switch in the cab and it some diodes in line so i can have the high beams or the switch trigger the lights and not have feed back. Got the lights from @memario1214.

    Installed the rails for my Rhino Vortex rack on the camper shell. They failed to send the keys for the 2 legs provided, and failed to send the second set of legs altogether. Rhino was nice enough to send another set of legs out.

    how did you pop off the OEM steps, i'm assuming that's what you did and snapped on the new step on top of the bar? or did you replace the entire bar. I like my car, it's powder coated metal black but want to maybe remove the steps and rhinocoat them, I can feel they are plastic but didn't wan to pry too much just yet till I figured out how they are attached, they look good, just want more traction

    That's good to hear! I figured they would do well since they're aluminum but it's good to hear first hand.

    How do you like your Rhino steps? Is there enough room to get your foot on without slipping (especially exiting the vehicle)? I've considered these but haven't made a final decision. I'm between the Rhinos or the Amp power steps.
