I did my 07 with the 09 bumper and gussets arent you guys worried about the cooler hitting something, if you dont bend it straight? Has anybody ever hit something and damaged it? If you dont bend it what other option is there to protect the cooler?

homemade mod
I wanted to go with a mod for the rear part of the tunnel and board, but I just had a hard time with shelling out the $ for the BDX parts, and before I was aware of the '09 cat parts, I decided to go this direction. It's not done, I still have the finish work to do, easing of the edges, riveting the parts to the tunnel, but here's what I have so far. It's about $30 in aluminum, and a few hours in the garage. I do really like SPOOK's VE one-off tunnel extension that ties into the rear suspension mount that is cool.

Nice job on the foot brackets Polar. Are you going to do something with the cooler, or just leave it the way it is?

Who said run it over with a dually. Well I tried it. It didn't straighten it out but it took most the curve out. Then I went and used a press and a couple pieces of flat steal to flatten it out. I was going to buy the 09 cooler for $120 if it didn't work. It looks good no cracks and it was free. Ill post som pics.
