The Detours system has a left and right, so make sure you line them correctly.

Left the jack in place but didn't need to use the breaker, just a 12 handle to free it up. I LOVE KB 88

I lubed up the bolts 2 weeks earlier, but the driver side front bolt on the rear suspension wouldn't budge. Tried jacking it up to relieve some pressure, but nothing.

So I hit it again with a LOT of KB 88 and went inside to see how the Patriots were doing!

Unfortunately, by going over the skid, it made the outside passenger bolts not line up. I like the 3 bolts supporting underneath. But will threw some smaller diameter through bolts in until I can remove the bumper and ream out the holes. (And then I'll replace my busted fuel line check-valve!

Rear bumper off. You can see that I sprayed the inside of the skid with leftover rattle can. Again, no one is going to see it.

Removing the rear bumper to install the nutzerts. Did it by myself, but had to jack the bumper up with a hydraulic jack.
