The factory one from 09+ should be easy to install.
The cooler is different though so you'll need that as well.

Ohh sorry then. I'll just keep quiet in the back. Lol. I figured they would fit with minimal work. I do know the coolers were different in the back, and the running boards are different where they mount.

Im trying to figure out if its just the difference in the coolers, you could very well be right cause every pic ive dug up looks the same where they mount up

I converted my 08 to the newer cat tunnel. You will need the new cooler and tunnel supports and a couple of 90 degree hoses to connect the cooler. All the rivet holes line up perfectly. As long as you don't screw up like I did and cut you foot rails too short you won't need new ones.

I put the V.E rear tunnel section on two of my sleds , super easy, and the V.E rear bumper on another. I reused my coolers, just had to flatten them in a press, and picked up some silicon coolant line from greggs since they were the only place that sold the odd ball size. If you want to keep your cost down order there rear bumper then you only have to cut the taper in your rear tunnel, plus order the cap for the back section of the tunnel and there little LED light.
