HoodGuard™

Install this with the BMC plate, makes for an easy install. It’s literally one bolt but you need to take off the very top of the under hood trim piece to make it easier, you don’t want to drop a bolt or the nut somewhere in the front of the truck so just take off that top piece. You need to do it anyway when you install the plate.

Had to make a custom tool for the allen head screw to install as the one provided is too long and will not work for installing the screw, other than that easy. You need to cut about 1/2" off the allen head wrench so it will fit and a small dab of putty to hold the screw would be nice.

Installation wasn't too difficult... but what is unspoken in the product description is that they have the entire grille assembly removed for easy access during installation. Now I found that I could install it without removing the grille... BUT... you either need long fingers to be able to reach the bolt in order to begin threading the nut, or use long forceps to hold the nut while turning the Allen-head bolt.
