As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Here is the exploded parts description from the kit's directions. #1 is the mail tail piece assemble - Made of steel. #2 is the new license plate light (LED). 3,4, & 10 are the turn signal brackets. 5-9 are the spacers and bolts to put the tail lock piece into #1. 11 is shrink wrap for the license plate light wires. 12 is a stick on round reflector??? The largest issue I ran into was the fact that the turn signal bracket were not threaded to accept the screws (#3) and I had to thread them. Other holes used clips that the bolts would screw into but the holes needed to be bored out to accept the standard screws removed initially.
Cheers,

+1Cool, look forward to seeing it.
IPA, was the metal bracket on? I've rallied the hell out of mine with the enduro engineering plate from day one. So far, so good....
Also, after breaking stuff in a crash, my dealer priced and ordered plastics. Had it at my door in 2 weeks.
