(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Any tips with the Treadstone tr8 kit? Hello. My google-fu has failed and I've turned up no results. Is anybody here running the tr8 kit made by Treadstone including their crash bar and piping kit? I have one on the way to me and was wondering about any install tips you may have for this. Besides fuel pump internals this will be the most in depth job I've done. The bumper removal is no problem as I've taken out my lights a few times. Any pictures are more than welcome also.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Update: I recently got the kit in and threw it on the next day. Fitment was great, went on very easily. The whole process took around 2.5 hours, the most time consuming was finding where the front bumper was hitting. Ended up being the foam on the stock grill piece. A small notch needs cut/melted on each side for the Treadstone crash bar to clear. I ended up cutting a spare grill I had and didn't use the foam at all but you get the idea..

| Not Ranked : 0 score Good to hear you didn't have any fitment issues. I eventually (probably next year) plan on going with a FMIC and had considered this one, but previous fitment issues had me steering clear of this kit. I may have to reconsider now.

| @LowFlyin; do you have a front shot with the bumper on? Interested in how it looks with the grill like that.
