Want to get a 3rd function for the front. Dealer wants $1600 to install. Have any BX owners install there own? Please share where you got your parts and experience installing. Might try it myself.

Not 3rd function but, a diverter valve for my grapple and snow plow. Rolled my own and have less than $350 invested. The biggest cost will be the valve.

Not sure what that is. Can you post pics and your install procedure? Always try to save some coin.

I have no complaints with the Summit kit.
Wasn't difficult to install.

Half the price of what your dealer is asking.

John T, can you post some pics on your install? I have zero experience on this.

Don't have any pictures handy.
I just followed the directions... maybe asked a couple questions here.
