Yes sir, plastic tabs just clip in and hold the guards in place at the top and bottom... installation takes seconds
I'm not very familiar with the "active grille shutters" but I would assume that they would be more likely to be open while driving on the highway and pushing the engine at a higher RPM (more heat) to provide air flow across the radiator . Am I missing something?
Was told shutters close at highway speeds. I did post about my grille concerns here and that's when I learned of this.
Just need to have my son hold on to the hood and look over the front while I drive down the interstate to confirm!

I'm going for the same setup but only have 2 of the cross bars. Do you think the additional 2 are a must have? Not putting anything up there other than a flat case like yours.
Check the oil drain plug and oil filter are both correctly reinstalled if they happen to do an oil change!5k service at Toyota. Should I check anything before I leave?
Negative, two will suffice. I put metal brackets in it to secure and rubber washers to keep water out. Here is how got them to mount and probably overkill, but wanted to ensure they stayed put. I chose 4 for the yak and other goodies to put up there.
How difficult is it to reach the winch controls? On my Tacoma I relocated the control box but still had to reach in to engage/disengage.
