Just finished installing my ASAP flaps from the latest batch, been waiting a bit for these to be available and super pumped to have them on the truck. Awesome work

Owl Expedition provides terrific install instructions, below are specific notes from my installation on 07 LC:
Definitely a good idea to pre-run screws through all of the plastic extruded nutserts.
The extruded nutserts needed pressure from the backside in order to thread the screws.
For the few extruded nutserts I couldn’t easily get a finger behind (especially front wheels lower screw, both driver and passenger side) I used superglue to attach the nutsert, let it dry for a couple hours.
Rear notes- my 07 LC features a plastic splash guard on driver rear wheel well. I removed this piece completely to get bracket in place, mainly to make room to get a finger behind each nutsert for threading.
The splash guard shared a couple of attachment points with the bracket- I cut the plastic holes on the guard into slots so I could reinstall the guard after all nutserts were threaded. I purchased 2 x 1.5” screws specifically for this splash guard/bracket sandwich. Photos would really help explain this but I don’t have any because I am a terrible documentarian.
For the rear flap ball stud I ended up with final size hole using 7/32 bit.
Fronts- wheel well splash guards- I didn’t need to remove the body cladding and didn’t have any fasteners blocked by my sliders. Pretty straightforward once I thought about the superglue for lower bracket screws.
All bracket screws in my kit are 4mm hex head.
Fun install, can’t wait to get them dirty.
