    I just used 3 short course threaded screws. If you wanted to remove panel you could bolt. Since I plan on very little if any use (fingers crossed) it should hold fine... pretty sturdy.

    Top is already off the truck and on its way back to Amazon. Did not like the fit and there is to much movement and wind noise going down the highway.

    yep..
    Nice. What material are the spacers made from? Im using 1.25" thick nylon bushings with grade 10.9 bolts. A member here questioned their safety and recommended Aluminum. Not totally convinced it will be any safer though.

    Big improvement in comfort..

    I'd love to see some night shots, thinking of replacing my Morimotos with something amber colored

    Huge improvement in comfort and visibility. Love it. The spacers are made from ABS hard plastic. I suppose some kind of metal would be a little safer, but there aren't any spacers for the front of the seat so it's not like the entire seat is sitting on spacers. I'll have to rely on my "spider sense" for watching out for other drivers. :D

    Very noticeable for me. Feels like when I lifted my truck. :D

    @olecoot in the end it was about $1400 including paint.
    But that’s because the TRD Pro grill alone was $375. I was able to make a lot of that money back though by selling the old parts. I bought 90% of everything off eBay.
