    I find it interesting that the top rail is not higher , I'm guessing you are only concerned in rear glass protection with this design ?

    Fit and finish looks great .

    Extra D-Ring Mod. Grinder worked perfectly utilizing the bed outlet...My uncle was impressed. Now all I need to do is find the torque of the bed bolts and re-torque them (came off pretty easily to begin with).

    Decided I would add some rock lights to the truck. Bought the whole setup at Autozone for $20, came with everything you need to install. I used all the factory holes in the frame too, no drilling required.

    Since I didn't want to cut a hole for my switch I found it fit perfectly behind the hood latch and you still have plenty of room to open the hood.
