I was always taught to not make room to let someone go across traffic. Not to be a dick but instead not to set someone up. That is a very common accident situation.
It's not a defect it's just the bumps under the hood need to be raised. I had the same issue and turned the bumps up. My issue is with how loose the bumps are. There is little to no resistance to the thread and I can see it easily working it's way down if it's not tight against the closed hood.
I picked orange as a color I'd never use. Not because I don't like the color and more of a color I couldn't ever see me driving as it's too flashy for me.
The switches only work with the Key in the on position. I too cut out the relay and connected the 2 hots to the upfitter switch 6 and the 2 grounds to the body ground.
The stock sasquatch tires are a C load tire which is typically a 6ply sidewall. Most of the aftermarket tires I've seen people buying are E load which are 10ply sidewalls.
