Be warned, it takes longer to unpack than to install. They wrap the life outta it for shipping. Plastic wrap, then a moving blanket, then heavy cardboard on the bends and mounting points, then plastic wrap that holds the bubble wrap. I placed the moving blanket down, took out the 4 bolts with 3/8 impact driver, held it up with my left hand and started the bolts with my right. Got em snug stepped back to check alignment then torqued down. A second person wouldve been easier but i wouldve waited longer for my wife to come down to the garage lol
Good info! Thanks

Got mine installed with Baja designs lp6. I reinstalled the tow hooks with it as well. My question is : is there such a thing as a security bolt out there to make sure it doesn’t get stolen? I’m looking at this and with 4 bolts someone could easily steal my setup. Any help is appreciated

Did you put the OEM tow hooks back on or aftermarket? If OEM, any fitment issues?

Update: these bars can take a hit.
A "pickup truck" backed into my 4R last night and ive only got scuffs and a little missing paint. His rear bumper and tail gate need to be replaced. Waiting on video confirmation it was this particular truck but the dents and red paint on his vehicle are pretty convincing
