    threw a bead behind my cam tabs. only had blue rust paint so that's why it's blue.
    also got a mountain hatch as a gift. i like it but it is definitely not worth the price, for anyone on the fence.20200328_152830.jpg 20200330_122405.jpg

    Sadly, not much.
    Thanks for that - I had been on the fence about the tailgate cover. I think I am going to do some sort of DIY option with some cutting board material.

    I never thought about re-using the washers actually. Any additional benefit with doing that?

    Really like the bed rack.....ive been thinking about re doing my set up....may copy that....BTW I put a big, (maybe 3/8 ") cable tie thru my fists on both the axe and shovel....takes a little longer to get them off if I need them but they are always there...

    Why would you want it tubes through the frame that’s not a boxed section of frame?

    I felt it gave the D-Rings a nice level surface to sit on and distributed the pressure of the bolt more evenly. Kind of allows you to get your finger under the D-Ring a little better too.

    I ended up drilling holes through the tools and using the existing holes on the boards.


    I had extra gun cable locks laying around. Won't do much against someone with a bolt cutter, but at least you can't just come up and swipe em.

    Thank you, I highly recommend the full rack set up. I use them very often, for pretty much anything. Shout out to @thebaker for the hook up
