In the process of putting together these easy to install hood lifts! Front plates are being cut this week. Wondering what kind of interest there would be in the kit? Feedback much appreciated!

I too think this looks good. I’m wondering if anybody knows: won’t this decrease the amount of space between the lower front cross bar on the cage and the removable hood scoop thingy…? I can’t even get a pinky between mine at the moment and had to mod my cagewrx cage-(dicks) to get any clearance at all.

when I lifted my hood it definitely did decrease clearance. I have an LSK cage and although it is tight I can get the removable center hood section off relatively easily.

Not that clean but it’s pretty easy for a quick clean up at over 8700 miles.

The kit consists of the front plate, upper headlight housing mount brackets, lower housing mount cross bar, and 3 upper hood area spacers.

I’m interested. When is it available and what’s the cost.

What a improvement. Never would come up with that one on my own. Less chance of larger tire scrub with taller tires. Free up the stock head lights from that low brow look and increase the lighting. Help with mud defense. And increase the approach angle.
So glad I found this thread.
Thank you.
