@jbarone, thanks again for making this kit. I'm really happy with how easy the install was and how top notch the quality is.
Plenty of room for the cold side and my JBR CAI. That made me happy since that fitment seemed to be an unknown.
Install took 3.5 hours, including a beer break. I did this by myself. Granted, I have access to a lift, and I took full advantage of that. Even so, I took my time and I didn't end up with any spare parts.
I didn't end up removing the Ambient Air Temp sensor pod mount thingys. The bumper went on just fine. The inner one is touching the cooler, but I didn't care that much. Also, I don't have a cut off tool in TX with me. Another one of the tools still back in CA.
The previous owner royaly screwed up the driver side bumper cover mounts. It was completely held on by zip ties, and most of the mounting tabs were broken... Looks like I'll be contacting @Raider
for those quick removal dealios.
I don't imagine I'll see any huge changes in BATs until summer rolls around. It was 60 degrees out on my drive home, and my BATS were between 75 and 80 cruising, and would jump to maybe 87-90 when idling at a light. It was nice seeing the BATs drop instantly when I started moving.
tl;dr - This kit is badass and incredibly easy to install.
I'm really thrilled to hear you like the kit. Looks great!!
