It’s amazing how much better projects go when you have the right tools. Looks great.I put on my AVS bug deflector today. I purchased a trim pad remover, as suggested in the attached video. It was worth every penny to get the plugs out. I also purchased an LED work light, to illuminate under the hood.
I also put down the blanket as they recommended in the video and it was a good thing as you invariably drop one of the parts. Ironically, the blanket slid a little to the side and when I dropped one of the screws, I could not find it. I thought it hit the blanket and bounced down to the ground. I search and searched and almost called a search and rescue team, but then noticed there was an one inch space between the blanket and the edge of the car. I looked down the crack, with a sense of dread, but fortunately the screw was right on top.
As per the video, putting in the plugs and screws is a little bit finicky, but they steadily went on. One of them almost stripped putting it on, with really very little pressure on the screw. When I got to the last location (the screw that fell), it also stripped, once again with very little pressure. They are extremely soft and have a Philips head. I was fortunate to get it out and then went to the store to find a replacement. I tried to find plugs and screw, but to no avail, so I focused on just getting the screw. I found a match, a #6, 3/8” long, pan head screw, but this time with a superior Robertson style head. It went on quickly.
On the video the gentleman put the bumper pads on the vehicle, but in the comments section someone asked why didn’t he put them in the deflector, instead of on the paint of the truck. I thought that was reasonable so I adhered them to the deflector. They stuck and they work, but the deflector is translucent and you can tell where i put them. Not sure if that will bug me or not. To be honest, I could not see the deflector bending enough to reach the truck, unless there is great pressure on the deflector.
I think it looks good, will hopefully prevent stone damage and if it deflects a few bugs along the way, great.

Your Ranger's name is Tots.Dave (), are you mailing me one for Christmas? That's the only possible reason that I could ever imagine why a damper would show up in my mail. Please send it early so I can donate it to
Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to damper a tailgate is insignificant next to the power of the Dave.
