Rear Bumper Help (Marker Light Wiring and Gravel Shields)

[A.Bursell]

Hello,

I am finally hanging my new rear bumper (sport style) and have a couple questions. I am replacing a step bumper, so never had sport style to compare to. I have repaired all of the wiring hacks in the rear harness, except the marker light wiring, and the bumper and brackets are new from LMC.

1) I have the correct wire, with extra length, to repair the marker light wire. It appears that this single wire routing just goes from the light straight up under the bed to run with the rest of the wire harness. This would seem to leave the wire exposed with the gap from the bumper to bed, leading to potential damage. Is this correct routing? Or, how else should the wire get from the marker light to the rest of the harness?

2) I have the gravel shields and hardware to install them. I don't see what they do other than cover the brackets. Maybe I'm not seeing how they install right, but they seem to cover the sides and leave the area above the license plate open. Is that right? What do these really do?

Thanks,

Adam
