    Thanks. I was nervous about drilling a big ass hole in my bed but after practicing on some sheet metal, got comfortable with it. I pushed the pilot hole a little off to the passenger side but isn't really noticeable from the top. Have to trim the baseplate to get it to sit flat then I can drill and install the mounting bolts. The nice thing is the hole sits in one of the little valleys and if I have to haul something just have to take out the spare.

    Later today, I'm finishing it off then I think I'm putting my aFe intake back on.

    If you need a space, can do it at my place. I've got to get this spare mount finished and the intake installed but can lend a hand as you need it. I won't be back until after 3pm.

    Hey Silas, there's enough space between where I drilled the spindle hole and the tailgate to fit 35s. Just sayin'. ;)

    Any mechanical specifics I need to know about taking off the sway bar? Going to get to it Saturday then take the truck for a spin to get used to the body roll prior to Sunday's meet.

    Anyone invite Raymundo?

    Spray all the bolts with PB blaster a few days in advance. Those end links like to strip out.
