    Does it hurt to weld them on the inside?

    No, I think they should be welded on the inside. The first picture I posted wasn't finished up yet. I welded them on the inside as well for added strength

    Looking good. Do yourself a favor and pull the bed off when you weld those on.

    Sick!!!

    That's what I've heard is taking off the bed is a lot easier. Will I be able to take the bed off by myself or will I need an extra hand?

    You'll need someone to help you pull it off. I'd suggest tacking the mounts in place with the bed on, so you know there won't be any interference, and then pulling the bed. If you want to be anal, tack a tube between the mounts once the bed is off to ensure that they don't move on you.

    Okay cool! Thanks man. If I go that route of pulling the bed off it'll be a little bit. Can't lift anything heavy for a little while since I busted my ass on Friday. But if taking the bed off will make things a lot easier then I may just wait.

    They look great in photos, but they're even better in person. I'm going to keep using these guys, that's for sure.

    My thoughts exactly. They look great on the website and everything but actually in my hand, the detail and everything is really on point!
