    For those of you that have ordered already everything was shipped wednesday WITHOUT instructions. I have measurements for spacing available and the next run will include a template for drilling the holes. If you have any questions please shoot me a PM. Looking forward to seeing these on a few trucks very soon!

    Once you drill the first hole, the other 4 are easy. I used silicone II on mine, haven't had a leak since install about 2 weeks ago.

    (not Sierra's mounts)

    Ok so I received mine from UPS today and you all need to find a different carrier or pad a little bit better. Glad I didnt pay any extra for the powder coat. Only 1 out of the 4 arms didnt have any chips and it had a few scratches.

    That being said the arms seem really beefy and very well made!

    Here is the way the box was on both ends...

    :eek:

    Chris I apologize that the mounts showed up looking that bad. That is totally unacceptable and I will take the issue up with UPS this afternoon citing your photos as a reference. I just got back from Huckfest this morning so I am still getting caught up with emails and PMs. Let me know your shirt size and I will get a couple out to you and your buddy for the inconvenience.

    :eek: holy holes! But the bar looks awesome up there!

    Negative and we probably wont be. The next mount I will be working on will be for the 54" radius bar.

    honestly the 40s look dumb on the roof of a tacoma, theyre just too narrow. The 50" is just a little wider than the top of the windshield but still well within the overall width of the cab, we played with both before settling on the 50" for a production run.
