I got mine in and installed on Friday, the person that packaged everything didn't find it necessary to put the three small bags of fasteners in one large bag. The bag with the two screws and the felt material for the trans cooler pipe fell out at some point, all four corners of the box had zero tape on them. Luckily Home Depot was open..... Not sure why they are not putting all fasteners in one bag and taping it to the skid plate....

All my hardware was in a bag and taped to tye packing stuff
I should have taken service guys offer of 20 dollar installation
I am not as svelte as I was before
The two rear holes are not tapped. So the screw cuts the threads. Mine were packed with road gunk
Had to clean em
I was surprised at how much the plate weighs.
So it laid on my chest. Took a deep breath and held it in place till I got 2 bolts started

^ That would have been $20 well-spent

Click to expand...
you know it, i was in the F150 and didnt feel like doing a near 50 mile round trip
all in all it went ok, just lots of sand and dead bugs
i put 2 strips of sound material on it to maybe soften the ting noise when something hits it
i have the raptor / tremor one on my f150 and its LOUD when road objects hit it
