    Do your bed mounts run solid along the bed or just platformmed legs

    hmm..

    you might think about getting a bar to go across the bed.

    I know heavier bed racks will bow the bed rails out, why i did the front rail cross bar. Was going to make a removable rear one but so far haven't needed it.

    Just a thought, keep an eye on it.

    I appreciate the offer, but no need for the hassle. Just whenever you get time and remember is fine. I still have a good handful of days before I get mine... I'm just preparing since my days on leave are running out

    On a build note...



    thinking of getting some 5.29s instead of 4.88s..because they are cheaper, especially with the ECGS GB right now. make driving offroad a hell of a lot easier thats for sure.
