Pretty difficult? I have mine in a box in the garage. Having a hard time finding someone to put them on right now. Debating doing the hood and sides myself. Never done something so large though.
Watched some videos on doing it via the “wet” method.
Yeah, same with me, first time I tried a decal this large. I ended up using the wet hinge method which was really helpful in positioning. Had about a 2" crease develop in one section on the edge near the grille (which I didn't know was there until the final plastic was pulled off), but pulled up that section and took a heat gun and the applicator tool and worked it slowly back to where it should be and the crease is almost invisible. The hardest part was to get the vinyl to conform to the curved surface areas. The other thing I learned was to trim around the decal about 3/4", especially at the top by the windshield, helps to get it aligned correctly because it's hard to see through the decal sheets to get it in the right position. Another tip is to let it sit for about an hour before you try to pull the final plastic off. Even then, portions at the top wouldn't stay in position, had to work them slowly with applicator tool. Main key is to pull final plastic flat with the surface and VERY slowly.

Installed the Access TonnoSport tonneau cover and then had to call roadside assistance again for a jump start. Back to the dealer tomorrow for the same electrical issue!

Had some fun yesterday heading into a state game lands and park area right by me. Nice long Jeep trail and then got to go on a nice hike and get outside for a while. Glad I had my side steps to protect against gravel/rocks flying up at my paint. Truck was super fun to drive, handle bumps and uneven terrain really well.
Still debating on getting mud flaps. Don’t like how they look, but I need to figure out if I dislike them more than paint chips. Gave it a nice wash and detail today and it looks good as new.

The sway bar is awesome except the bushings are squeaky :ROFLMAO:- I ended up using the end links from my BDS kit insead of the supplied ones.... I need to find some bad *** grease...other than that it makes a huge difference- Im on the middle setting.
Thanks, Joeyp. If it makes my truck ride any better, what a plus.

Buy it, it is an upgrade to your stock suspension and will ride better than stock. I have mine in the firmest setting. If I had to describe the feel, is it made the suspension feel heavier?!?! Hard to explain. You have to experience it.
Geaux Tigers! It’s my next mod.

That's a good looking truck, lose the Alabama plate and "Roll Tide" and it will be a great looking truck. Geaux Tigers!
Haha! Gotta love tiger fans. Beat Bama once every nine years and they come out the woodwork. It definitely looks better than the orange and blue of the gators in my neck of the woods.

Still happy with the ride. Even happier with the ride in corners and quick maneuvers. Feels more planted with less rocking side to side.
I have a heavy truck, so I started on the middle setting.
Thanks. It’s my next mod. Something I can do myself.
