I added the AVS Bugdeflector II to my Lariat today. I used the AVS pins and they seem to hold tight. I do like the lip and the overall contours.

Congrats on getting your truck. You probably saw my Saber Lariat when you picked yours up. I was on a fishing trip when Russell texted me that they had been delivered. Will be picking it up tomorrow after work.Looks good - that's what I'm getting on my Magnetic Lariat, but I'm having it put on at Line-X where they're doing my cover and bed liner. I'm not handy and i did not think $50 was too much.
Mine is not here yet. I think I did see yours last Wednesday when I got back from a auction pick up for them....Terry was struggling to use the app to unlock yours Mine is scheduled for delivery next week - getting them to put on a cat-back exhaust and letters on the tailgate, then over to Line-X for bed liner and cover along with the bug deflector.Congrats on getting your truck.

I am a tool junkie. I opted for a set. Might come in handy when I install my brake controller.If you purchase one of these, you'll find removing the hood gasket pins easy!

Where did you get the tool??Ordered my AVS bug shield Tue 23rd estimated delivery 7-30/ 8-2. Received it yesterday. Did the install this morning time to install less than 1hr. This is my procedure.
1 deburred holes in bug shield
2 cleaned leading edge of hood
3 placed a moving blanket over engine bay, if you drop a pin it may be hard to locate if ever located, they only supply 8 that are needed
4 test fit bug shield and mark hood with chalk to locate pins that need to be removed
5 remove pins
6 reinstall bug shield under rubber and locate holes rubber will hold it in place
7 insert new pins be sure pin is fully inserted before setting the screw
8 clean chalk off hood
As far as I am concerned the pin tool remover is a must have
That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Washashore has this link to Amazon in his response I clicked it to check out the tool scrolled down & there was more listed. I went for the MANFITTER 38pc set. Like I said I'm a tool junkie.Where did you get the tool??
Thank you.Very nice procedure and install. Looks great.
Tod. Looks good. It looks like yours from what I can see has an AVS sticker on it like others I have seen. Mine did not have a sticker but it has the AVS engraved. Yes the tool is a must.Installed the AVS Bugshield II today. Took all of15 minutes using supplied fasteners. Key was a removal tool. Pops the OEM right out.
I really didnt look close at it....but i think it is more of a stick on emblem than a sticker. I will look closer tomorrow.Tod. Looks good.
