Re: need help removing
Yeah your gonna wanna cut that mounting piece on the hinge side of the bed and what ever structure is behind it may have to be cut or beaten back to allow for the depth of the caddy light to sit back and be flush on the surface. Before you get too sawzall happy on the openings for the light you might want to consider tacking in your tail light filler panel especially on the hinge side cause once you start cutting that structure there, you may find difficulty in reforming that edge not much clamping surface there... i haven't seen a posting on the whole process of doing this... might be interesting if your willing to share! I never considered there to be a clearance issue in that area!
