I got the front end off this morning and tapped around on the air director. I didnt want to cut it up like I did on fenix so I mounted the cab 1" higher and used a mallet to reshape the area without cutting it.

after doing that, the front end almost fell into the right position. no issues at all, everything lined up perfectly.

yes I need to drill out the broken bolts, not a priority yet. the front clip is lined up left to right correctly, and the drivers side headlight is 3/8" higher than the passenger side, wonder what that is from? oh right, the cab spacer haha.

pardon my vice grip mount for the core support, and the electrical tape rad mount. just trial fitting. worked out great.

remember that I have a complete grille to replace this one, although I am partial to the look of this one and maybe I will just put it back together, I have the spare parts needed.
more to come! eating a late lunch.
