I am thinking about ordering one and looking at the instructions ahead of time - the instructions I can find don't have very good pictures in most of the steps - does anyone have better pictures of the before and after horn bracket and harness relocation step and step 10 regarding PCV line is confusing it looks like it is just thrown in their I am guessing that the chrome breather is included with the air grabber and is used to replace the hose from the factory air box - any help or tips would be appreciated.

On your 2014, there is no longer a horn bracket in the way. Vararam has yet to revise their instructions for the 2013-14 trucks, but that is a step that will not apply to your install.

As for the breather filter, you simply remove the breather hose that goes from your oil cap to the factory airbox. At the end of the hose next to the oil cap, there is a small rubber coupler that is bent at a 45* angle. Simply remove that from the hose, clamp your breather filter onto 1 end, and then push the coupler right back onto the plastic nipple at the oil cap. Takes all of 30 seconds to do this step.

10-4! Good luck! I really like mine. Just a suggestion though, I would recommend going to your favorite parts store and buying a different filter instead of the chrome one with the kit. It may be fine, but looks very cheesy IMO. This is a good chance to spend just a few more $$$$, less than $10, and pick up something that looks good and will dress up the engine compartment. It is going to need some dressing up because it looks like Hell with the Vararam on and the engine cover off, at least to me anyway. Also, the plastic split hose covers go a long way and cheap as well. Here is mine:
