    Using T-nuts to attach D-rings to underside of platform. The D-rings will be used to attach the platform to the D-rings in the truck bed below, to prevent the platform from rattling, lifting, or shifting.

    Additional T-nuts will attach the platform to the supporting cross-members, not shown. The cross-members are 1"x3" tube steel laying in the notches in the bedsides.

    That's why a long bed is preferable.

    Installed OEM roof rack on cab. Extra height balances the roofline/profile of the mid-size Leer topper.

    Bolt-on installation was easy. Truck had treaded holes under a plastic strip on roof. No interference with moonroof or antennae.

    Replaced gearbox oil with 2 qt. Royal Purple and greased driveshaft at 2100 miles. Shifts are noticeably smoother. Thanks TW!!! Would have changed diffs at same time but had trouble sourcing five more quarts locally. Another day.
