A couple Rob.

A overhead from my office/den, notice the overhang? The bar is actually square, the camera angle makes it appear off.

A couple from the side

There is even a nice shiny new 2" hitch to go with the install (couldn't use my mean, nasty 'ol pintle hitch for this, could I)

With the flash the '09 trucks are "supposed" to have, no regen under 35 mph, there is a concern about burning someone, blistering paint in stop 'n go traffic ...

And mine is goofing up. It's due for a service check (15k) and it'll get checked then. Till then "Play ON!" :roll:

I've left the flaps on and so far the flap hasn't melted. The truck goes in for the service check next week. And the regen at low speed/stopped hasn't happened for a while, in fact regen isn't occurring as often. I changed my usual fuel station around the same time as I installed these flaps, I wonder if that might have some bearing on this.
