I installed my hitch Sunday. Ranchhand's pics were completely accurate. The hardest thing for me was popping out those reflectors! With the oval tips on my exhaust, I found it hard to get up in there but I finally coaxed them out.
The instructions with the kit were excellent. They did short change me 2 25 amp fuses though. Oh yes, I did turn that fuse chart in numerous circles before I finally figure out what was what for installing the wiring on the backside!
By the way, the plastic rivets for the fender extensions were actually 69, not 89 cents. They look just like a rivet but have a larger stem that wouldn't fit in any of the fittings of my rivet gun. I just held the rivet down with a upholstery trim tool, took my large vice grips, grabbed the stem and pulled by rolling the pliers over. It tightened the rivet up and snapped off the stem just fine.
I will be taking mine in next Monday for the reprogramming. If you look at the instructions, this is done at the end after installation. The reference to the beginning is to make sure that any updates are installed prior to the installation. If mine needed any updates being brand new, oh well!
