    I'm sure you're fine.

    Worst case, you can replace the studs.

    Otherwise it's machined aluminum like the next guys machined aluminum. Improper torquing will make any spacer be shit.

    Yeah, I'm not sure why some people think name brand machined aluminum is better...

    Do you have your cab mounts chopped?

    Sweet rig TK.
    Is the light output deminiahed at all by the grill?
    I would like to put one behind the grill but have been hesitant because I'd hate for the output to be low.

    Also, what do the bedside reinforcements help with?

    Thanks! I'm sure the grill cuts off some light, but it's still pretty bright.

    The reinforcements help prevent the composite bed from warping. It typically happens when you have a lot of weight on your bed.

    Added the snorkel and removed the front flares. Filled them in with nuts, bolts, and washers.

    @Fight4Function reminded me that I hadn't updated this thread since May. I've done a few things since.

    Tinted windows. 35% front and 5% rear and back glass.

    ARB awning, rear lights, and rear bumper with swingout from Antonio at South Reno Fab.
