I wanted everything bolted in place so I can line it up. My bed and cab already have holes from the factory.

Yes it does an awesome job. I like the adjusters on it to adjust the angle of the beam.

Thanks Dave.

Nothing but a thing. Once I drill them I'll touch the edge of the holes up with some paint. I know the clips will do some scratching going in.

Spent 7 hours today priming, repairing, priming and painting the bottom of the hood. It's still has a few pings in it, but might not be noticeable once mounted. I might go back and paint the top tomorrow. I've got 3 weeks to get it ready for our 3rd annual board get together "Chewin' the Fat" and cruise afterwards.
