cool chas i had to start with center bolts and beat the trailing end of rear protection up just a little . i had scraped the cross members up pretty good so had to adjust http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif milk crates help in holding it up close while doing the install . its pretty easy to do even if you have to beat it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif have fun

I didn't have any problems installing mine. Bolted right on, no sledgehammer. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

They are pretty light too. I was able to just hold them up to the frame while I put the bolts in. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 mins to install. Much easier than the rails. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Same here. No sledgehammer needed on mine. It was a little bit akward do by myself though. A milk crate would have been perfect. I just put mine on my chest and slide underneath.

Normally you just use zip ties for the stock stuff. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

We added mine in the parking lot of the hotel when we went to Tellico since I had it shipped there. I can't really tell you if it was easy or not because the guys just climbed under there and started installing, I just handed them tools http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Didn't hear any hammering though http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Entrestingly enough, not that I'm rich, but lazy didn't have the help/tools needed so had the dealership bolt all my protection on. The cross frame rail that they bolt to didn't have the holes drilled properly, I told them they could probably take a drill and tap the holes but they said it was a defective piece and needed replacing. So it took a couple extra days.
