Missing a Hardware Pack (60714). Not sure what’s in that package but for sure missing the push in plugs.

Strike 1.

That sucks. Was it drop shipped from Smittybilt? Or does CJ Pony Parts actually stock this and ship it out from their inventory?

Drop shipped from SB. Already sent them an email but nothing getting done since it’s a Friday evening.

Is that adjusted as close to the tailgate as possible or do you have it out a bit?

ntx moab: do you have the alpine sub? If so how was the removal of the quarter panel compared to the instructions?

That is as close as I can get. I have a 4.5” BS on my Fuel Beasts.

Removal of the rear quarter was really easy. Getting it back in....took about 15 mins. Had to line it up just right. It IS a PITA, but definitely doable.

Does this kit include eveything you need to install it?

You dont have to drill in the body right?

No drilling required. My box had everything I needed to get it installed. With the exception of the issue I outlined in previous posts, I could have easily finished this install in a day.

I didn’t need it.


FYI. 4WP is having a 30% off sale today ONLY. I have no clue if this item will be in that sale. But worth a check.

Did you have to remove the alpine sub speaker or it all pulled out together?
