    I don't know what he did but this is what I did.
    I took off the fender flares and the wheel well liners

    And In the square holes I put stainless steal bolts
    I don't remember the size but I know it was a 13mm wrench
    I used rubber washers so I wouldn't scratch the paint
    I did from out side in
    Bolt, rubber washer, through the truck, normal washer, nut

    All total it was about 30-40 bucks (I liked that better then new bushwhackers)

    I got the idea from @Mademan925 himself

    yeah, so far it seems i wont need to. Im right at 1900RPM at 70MPG which is typically where i cruise. Im going to monitor any major MPG loss but it should be fine.

    I didn't even realize we had a trip report sub thread, truck looks good man. Noticed you have both the fridge and yeti, what do you usually carry in the yeti?

    The yeti is beer only.... My wife has been a paleo diet foodie almost 3 years now so she usually has to refrigerate all her food on the trips leaving little room for me....
