    It is an aluminum plate that I cut and bent and its wrapped in tool box mate that I got at harbor freight. I raised it about 2" with steel screwed to the existing console. I left the screws exposed like that on purpose, I just need to steal my girlfriends black nail polish to paint the tops of the screws.

    Ok so I know that the 5/8 inch lag bolt will sit in the rail system I was wondering if anyone knew what length works best with the standard quick fists that way I down have to cut a bolt.

    I lost the square head M8 bolt from my bed divider. I went onto etrailer.com and ordered an M8x25 bolt for a Thule rack for $4 shipped. I'll let you know if it works- it might fit perfectly and not need to be cut down.

    It shipped same day too. The bolt was $1.09 before shipping. They also have the ones for the Thule feet- they are longer for different applications so long as the square head works.

    I'm hoping it fits but if it's too big I can always grind it down a little so it will.

    This is the square head bolt I bought. Disappointingly the head is only .75" wide. image.jpg

    This is the length- again, this is an m8x25 bolt:

    It appears to go about 9/16" out from the rails.

    Old school polish and paint for the stock exhaust. Just a few hours of time and some manifold paint.

    Dog friendly, with dog snot on inside windows, with of course a/c! Mag 16 inch wheels from a Mazda.
    I got such a ruff ride. I put two 50lbs bags of cement in the back end. Took them a week to harden, can't imagine what's going to happen when something hits me were thIMG_20151108_134448245_HDR.jpg ey'll go. Wonder if I can fill up the rear bumper with cement?
