So far it's been working GREAT! We've had some low 30 upper 20deg. mornings here. I installed my winter front this weekend. Stupid truck is still cold blooded!

Cabela's, it was $45.00? IIRC It's great cause the snaps to hold the thing in place are sticky backed so you don't have to drill through the grill.

Thanks! I thought about putting it on the side of the bumper but decided to put in the center so it would be more user friendly, + putting it the center it doesn't look like a 3 legged dog!

if it didnt look so good you could even mount it behind a "flip up" licesne plate holder to hide it, but since its chrome why bother? is it of quality or has it started to rust already?

Made it through the winter just fine! The connectors started rusting on the backside of the plug. I put a boot around it and electrical tape around both ends and moisture still got in?
