    I could turn it over but it's not as flush that way and I also took the base off and put in the ammo can in the bed. And did about 4hrs of wheeling today and no problems.. Still tight

    To TXTaco13, its just a simple lock and I am sure it's only gonna keep the honest people honest.. If they want it and need to steal it that bad then they need it worse than me!

    I've seen some kits that allow you to bolt it to the side rail and lock it. I'm trying to come up with a way to do it without buying mounting plates that are expensive. Thanks for the pic!

    I have seen them to and been to the hardware store about 5-6 times already ready. If I find a way to do so I will let you know.

    You had better be damn sure the adhesive backing on that LED strip isn't going to get all melty on you when you reheat the headlight housings to re-assemble them. Even with the temperatures that the headlights will reach being exposed to direct sunlight all day, I'd be iffy about doing that.

    I think it will add a nice touch, aesthetically, though.

    Ultra-gauge, extra bed D-rings, pop-n-lock, backflip tonneau cover, L-Track bed tie downs, Tech-Deck, mirror riser, and Relentless Fab Tailgate plate
    today I got off work early and it was time to do finish some upgrades. Wednesday I finished the Relentless-Fab tailgate mod, here is that pic
    IMG_2853.jpg

    I decided that it was time to get rid of the Pluto dog ear mud flaps and cut them down to a reasonable size. I took off 5".

    IMG_2860.jpg

    After the front mud flaps were finished. they took less than 30 mins for both sides. it was time to add some more "L-track" to the bed.

    Enough upgrades for a late Friday afternoon.

    My ultra-gauge MX1.4 upgrade shipped yesterday. I might have something to do tomorrow.

    Luckily it's not being held by the adhesive backing but by rubber butyl. Think it should be a little more secure. I was worried about the same problem

    If you're still concerned with it, you could drill holes on both sides of the strip in a few places and secure it with a small gauge wire.

    I'll keep that in mind. I think it'll be alright though cause its pretty hard to move. If not, well then lesson learned

    I also think that the wire would be a good bet. How will you be re assembling the head lights? oven? Keep in mind the melting temperature of the headlight sealing adhesive is pretty high, and I'd estimate it to be very similar to that of butyl rubber.

    I bet you could find a high temp adhesive. Maybe a dab or two of guerrilla glue. Or even gasket sealant. Some of those are final of course.

    You're gonna love that rack! I put mine on last week and have already started buying accessories. It's like a separate truck mod on it's own with all the accessories that Front Runner makes...:D
