Yes, more pics would be very helpful. Although it isn't too hard to install a limiter switch relay to flip/unflip the plate with the push of a button vs having to hold it down, how is the overall construction of the unit? I read through a lot of reviews of this kit and some people complained how cheap it is and how the cable gets caught up sometimes when the motor is turning. I would like to see one of these in person so I can see how greatly or badly engineered it is before I spend $130 on it. I noticed some videos on youtube where some plates flip up so fast it smacks the bumper and some flip up nice and slow. Wonder why is that.
you can see the back strap i bolted to the 10mm bolt on the vertical bracket. I had to widen the hole on the strap to fit the bolt, it was easy with a unibit.
this pic you can see the rail at the bottom where its mounted
is it sits right now, yeah i could modify this some more to make it sit back a bit more, another day. im just glad i got it in the spot i wanted and its working fine without being rubbed off from under my bumper when i lower my car.
This is what come in the kit
That pretty much it. 2 remotes wires, loom, zip ties, screws, bolts, instructions. its a really simple install unless you want to make it mount better than under the bumper as the instructions show.
He didn't modify anything and it still sticks out more than mine. Mine sits flush.
I tried on the freeway going 70MPH and I wasn't sure if I held it down long enough but it was half way up when I stopped. Not sure if the wind speed kept it from coming up. It's not made of steel so it's somewhat flimsy but it looks sick and people love it when I show it to them.

10lexISR6, thanks man! These pics were exactly what I was looking for, clearance against the vertical support bracket. I would suppose cutting off a portion at this marked spot would allow the rail motor to slide back more. You made me interested in this again haha. Placing order soon...
