    :rofl:

    The "too expensive" part is probably the most accurate part of your statement. Considering what goes into making one of these I am probably charging way too little and that includes no real "machining". I do use a drill press and a hand tapper but everything is done by hand and is more labor intensive than you might expect. I could probably find someone to manufacture these but I would have to do it in such large quantities that I would not be able to afford to purchase 500 sets of these and the cost benefit would not be there for much less than that. One person "borrowed" my design and created his own. He said he would have charged at least $75 considering what it took for him to make one. But he was kind enough to throw a little money my way in appreciation for the work that had gone into the design. I just use what I make to buy more parts for my own truck and I like helping other members out since so many members have shared their expertise and experience on this forum.

    1B558443-0804-4492-9C63-F6EB43B1E2DF.jpg I just purchased this bracket and installed on my 2017 dclb sport and it does exactly what it is intended to do. Mine does not move around as I have added 3m adhesive tape as a cushion rather than the supplied felt pads. This is a great product at a low cost! I highly recommend this to Anyone looking to not put holes in the bumper.

    After mailing over 200 brackets it was bound to happen at one point. The mailing box took one for the team but the bracket survived intact and mounted up nice!
