all is covered here.

the only main difference is you will not need to modify the length of the rear bumper as shown in the article.
This is because the tin tops have a different rear wheel arch profile between pre and post face lift (to allow more legroom in the rear seat apparently??), but as far as i know the cabs all had the later rear wheel arch profile irregardless of the cab model thus the tech 2 should fit on, however the mods to the front metal valance and mounts still are the same as Jordan's article.
