A few observatIons as I install. There is not a how to video, so best to watch some other manufactures install jobs.

1. This is not a 1hr project - could be if lights harnesses were included.

2. The license tag lights are threaded studs that also secure the plate down. What’s terrible about this design is it requires the complete removal of the spare tire delete to change your tag. It’s a nut and bolt design, not threaded for a machine screw. A much simpler solution could’ve been a separate light. For most people, this may not matter, but for those in the military who move often it’s going to be a huge pain.

3. Next observation, as this is the second havoc off-road product I’ve installed the first being a front bumper, the instructions are missing and missing steps from both . The spare tire delete does make any mention of how to remove the factory harness from the OEM tire carrier, simple enough, however, the missing wiring instructions is concerning which wires to tap into for powering, brake lights, license plate, lights, and camera. Special care has to be taken with removing clips of camera lead to relocation. No mention of that.

*see pic not even finished and LED is coming apart

4.I recommend getting some 24 gauge butt connectors because the ones that come with are 16 gauge. The tag lights are 26ga and quick disconnects are 24ga. If you get the rights ones you won’t have to stagger the wiring to feed through the plate. Again not the best design here.

Next - I have to wonder why the hell it couldn’t just come with a factory harness to the OEM 3rd brake light!?! So if you ever remove in the future you will be cutting wires rather than a quick disconnect. Luckily it has some cheap ones that can be used with some spilicing

5. this kit will NOT work with reverse camera without buying a 90 degree adaptor!
