I found the clips I got for the inner liner, and Splash guard didnt work the best, they worked. So I may find some better ones and replace all them on both sides. I also need to order a new Foam piece for inside the fender on the Pass. Side, mine tore trying to put it back in.

I got the new Rad Support today, One down side to it is they had to put a Lip on it. Front goes upward, back goes downward. So I shouldnt collect water easy, I might have to trim the plastic tho, since I think the downward lip will be in the way. I have it primed, Still need to drill all the holes, then prime the holes, bedliner, and I may even still undercoat it after that in some spots.

Something simple pretty much, I did have to Cut 2 Channels in it for the Rads bushings, Im in a hurry to get it in. I drilled the holes slightly to far forward, and could drill it bigger so I had to cut a channel. I intend to push the rad down to firmly press into it so I shouldnt move (altho my old support didnt do anything.)
Ill get some pics now, its drying.

Im in a hurry, becaues im out of town for atleast the next 2 weeks, if not a month.

And Shes Done! Only thing missing is the Plastic part under the rad support, looking at it and where it covered, It wasnt worth dealing with. I might have a front skid plate made up by the same people who did my Rad support (Rods Machine Shop) They have a few Custom done up trucks (Their own) with bumpers and such.
Altho Im pretty sure they shop that does my oil will hate me if I do, since it would cover the filter and funnel part, I might have a hatch part made for that, not sure.

Rad Support In place (I only used 6 bolts not 8, 4 on Top, 2 on Bottom)



How it looks under (all together)


Done (was also testing my lights to make sure they worked again)
