I dig it. Looks great! Could you post a couple close-ups of the tow hooks and the fitment around them? I'm curious how tight it is and if it'll be a pain to hook up a strap. Thanks!

I’ll grab pics tomorrow since it’s dark already. I need to adjust them they are a tight fit but I don’t see it being a problem if I need to use them

You can still put a hook or shackle through it

So I just did it this morning on my '17 3500 HD. It took a lot longer than I thought. There were 2 screws that I couldnt get to behind the plastic insert inside the bumber. The one at the bottom that frames the air opening into the coolers. I seriously just tore it out. Hack job. Totally worth it. Looks great. It seems like maybe a slight hit on mileage on the freeway but the first 100 miles combined has been exactly the same MPG's as before (11.9 MPG, stock, no lift). I probably couldve removed that center plastic piece but I didnt wanna bust it. Now I have the 2 metal bracket nubs sticking down but I'm OK with that.

I removed mine and made a piece to fill the center. The huge chrome piece was the main reason I removed it.

Hey, man I am wondering if i can buy that set up off you. I dont see a way to contact you directly but would you be willing to fabricate the same wind dam replacement?

NorCalDuckHunter · January 16, 2020

I just removed my wind dam today and I’m kicking myself for not doing it earlier! Loving the way it looks now plus more clearance in the front because the first hunting trip I took I smacked the wind dam pretty good

Anybody local to the Gilbert Arizona area with a 16+ ?

Hey man, I know this is old and you probably already have had your questions answered but I am local here. What did you need? I just picked up an 18 Z71 in Summit White. I am looking into doing the skid plate from SDHQ.
