    Not sure I remember how to use a pop rivet after bucking and squeezing all those solid rivets.

    I had to get a PayPal invoice to pay for them since the code doesn't work for Hawaii. I haven't gotten a shipment notice so hopefully it'll happen today.

    All installed. Some advice incase anyone makes the same mistake as me...
    3f9faba056c264f3de6c356876eef4ca_1d8dc6150367d15e4df4fd4f269903f5130b98e1.jpg

    Do not measure 8 1/4" from the bolt closer to the windshield towards the front of the truck. . Measure from the bolt farther out towards the windshield. Don't ask me how I know this. Instructions are pretty clear on that but I saw a bolt and measured...turns out it was the wrong bolt.

    Other than that installation isn't too bad. I just have a couple extra holes. I think larger angle pictures would help but I will say those are still some quality instructions! I'm so used to piss poor instructions I just wing it.

    Thanks again ramonortiz55 and Redline for getting this all set up!
