    Well that took longer then i thought. Was a pain getting the legs off. but i did and saved the hinge part which i want. Im going to mount them to the bed rail closes to the cab so that when they are down and in the driving position they are at the same angle as the bed rack bar. They will clamp to it as well. Then when camp time comes around. Ill have them come up to a 90* angle with the bed rail so they go strait up. SHould make great camp lights!

    Just gotta get some bolts a wing nuts. Will sit like this basically. But I want to be ale to tighten and loosen it to lock it in place. Also gotta figure out a way to strap it down up top.
