    I don't know if I would call it a PROBLEM... I've had the rack for about 2 years. I don't know what type of bolts they come with now. The front face for the wind deflector bolts did not rust over if you notice in the pic. It seems yes it would be worth the $20 to get new bolts. But I'm unsure if this is common place with these racks. Does anyone use SS or Grd 8 bolts? I just don't know... Sorry.

    It does seem common on here and when I used to mod other cars, always check your bolts. :)

    TO BE FAIR, I would have to remove those side bolts to put on accessories each season and change from ski to bike and board season. If you notice in my OP the link shows a trick way to not need to do that with some in channel brackets. I bet if you installed the provided bolts, locktite and left them alone they would look better than mine.

    If he tries to launch that in the ocean, the truck would fall off the continental shelf before the water got up to the doors! LoL

    My issues with the batteries was discussed here. This was a discussion on a different topic of contact with the manufacturer..............opinions differ on customer service.

    Swapped in some Philips 4300k HIDs in place of the 3300k ones.

    Overall opinion is "meh". They are definitely more "whiter" than the stock halogens but the cutoff fuzziness is more pronounced.

    You know that I have to pull your leg!
    Hope all this is behind us come game day.
    I'll keep praying that God grants us all a miracle so we can all get back to living normal lives once again! :thumbsup:

    To be fair, discs ate just easier to service. Drum brakes work perfectly fine and I think it’s such an odd thing for so many to be hung up over on this forum. They’re good enough for almost all commercial vehicles on the road but not good enough for the rear axle of a “compact” pickup?

    I lease so all my mods could be removed and returned to OEM condition. However, I’ve found that the dealer is ok with a good quality installed mod at turn-in and no comments at service. I put a booklet together with all service and mods purchased which they seem to appreciate. I’m thinking of buying this one so I’ve put a little more into it. Back-seat delete is next as you can see :thumbsup:
