    Do you have access to the top of those mounts? On my skids, the bolts go through the cross member and there's a nut up top. Also gave me the option to run carriage bolts which is an added bonus. I can't really tell if this will do the trick for you or not. I can try and grab pictures when I get home this afternoon.

    With the skid in place it would really be difficult to get a hand in there to put a nut in place. I guess it would be possible, just very difficult.

    Mine definitely isn't easy but it is accessible. On a mid skid IIRC, so I can only get to it from the sides, not front and back. I shouldn't have to take it off unless I make a real big booboo. I'll get some pictures this afternoon for you

    I bet the tech set the Weather Techs on something that was in the heat. Maybe try setting them in the sun for a bit the put them right back in the truck?

    Meh... I've had it. I know it's preferred by many locals, but I'm just really not a huge fan.

    My back weather techs are curling on the sides. Is that the fix? Put it out in the sun for a little while to let it flatten out?

    Might work. Seems like when you get them, they're all nice and perfect fit. But they deform after a while. Letting them heat in the sun and then re-installing might help-make sure you try and work the curls out before taking them out of the sun.

    Some really cool shit
    Back in 2000, when I first went to Montana, I was stoked about it. but it's a novelty, really. I'd rather have an Alaskan Amber. Or a New Castle Brown. Or a Downtown Brown. So many that are better.

    Alaskan has a number of really good beers. Including their Smoked Porter but that should be the last you drink for the day though.

    Moose Droop is OK, like drinking a Bud or Coors.

    You have got to try Six Rivers macadamia nut Porter.
    I usually pair it with chicken and waffles or custard filled French toast.
