Was the overhead assembly difficult to remove? I'm thinking about just nailpolishing mine in place.
This is cool. Any info on if there are less bugs attracted to it?

Did you use Mopar Part Number: 06511076AA nut/rivets for the lower skid plate bracket ? I did use this part with the Warn mounting plate on my installation and am not sure that I installed the nut/rivets properly.
Yes I did. Check out this Genright video

Tried to mount a Rusty's LCA skid but had to Jerry rig it. Outside of the rear diff skid from Rancho, these skids have been a huge hassle. Nobody has the correct supplied bolts, holes drilled out wrong, nothing but running into walls installing simple bolt-on parts. But I cranked the one bolt that would go in straight. Might not be quite right, but that bolt is on tight.

just bite the bullet and open up that hole. Like many others, I had to do the same thing to mine.

I probably will take Roy's advice and bore out the holes more, but my confidence is low that it's going to go easy even after I do. Sent one set back for that issue; these looked to line up right so sent them off for powder coat, and now they wouldn't go on without modification either.

Am I the only one that reads the thread title every day and gets annoyed by the fact someone capitalized to? ?
Differentiates between this and the "WITH" thread.
Some don't get the difference between TO and WITH so apparently they chose to emphasize the TO part??

Yeah, someone else told me that lol. It makes sense now but it seemed odd every time I saw it.

I have a set that needs installing. Did you have any trouble with the control arm alignment?
