Default Just made the change to Rev D !!!!!

OK, I decided to put my new Rev 'D" in yesterday. I just couldn't stand the propects of getting stuck somewhere any longer.

Getting the original 'security' bolts out was not an issue as previuosly stated. I used a small pair of needle nosed vise grip type plyers. I replaced those with stainless steel 8mmX1.25 cap head bolts that have a allen head (easier to turn in the small space). I added lock washers as they where a little longer than the originals. Everything works as expected. The Rev D lock seems to be a little quieter when locking and unlocking, but that could be just my imagination.

I have put the old Rev B, which was still functioning, down in the spare tire well along with a proper size allen wrench (just in case).

The feeling of driving with that added level of security under there is very satisfying for sure!
