    Welded. Wasnt too excited about drilling 30+ holes in the frame.


    It's not too hard to hit any spots that need touchup with a wire brush and a quick dose of Rust-Oleum after any run.

    Thanks for your reply,
    The way they do it, they wrote the check in my name and Ent, I deposit the check in Ent and when I get an invoice from the shop I take it to Ent and they write a check to them.

    Funny you said about the scoop, my buddy told me to get the shop to install a Sports scoop hood, am not sure I really like them.

    My vehicles get weld on with solid gussets. Preference really because of my old rock crawling days. Wife's 4runner got bolt-ons because they will likely only see a scrape or 2 in their lifetime, more of a step and a jacking point. I honestly haven't used the sliders enough on the 4runner to justify the way they are welded on.

    First the #EAF call it "Skewp", I am fine without one and it's purposeless hole that only way to use is to put an LED light in.

    My roof got replaced from the storm last year. So far I have had no issues or concerns with the replacement.

    The shop did a great job, can't even tell it was replaced. They spliced it in between the drip rails.

    I honestly couldn’t tell you. I assume it was in the drip channels, but I was just in there installing a prinsu and it was not obvious.

    That where I thought they splice it. I have a Prinsu rack, I hope there's no problem making the mounting points are strong enough for the rack. I guess that's for them to make work.

    Glad to hear that.

    I was just posting about having a Prinsu rack on mine and was concerned about the strength of the mounting points.

    After I installed the rack I shook the shit out of it with all my weight and it was rock solid and just rocked the whole truck on its suspension.

    Not Maroon Bells but not too far. Head up Castle Creek Road at the roundabout near Aspen. Go past Ashcroft and the road turns to into Pearl Pass. Some great campsites along that road. Here's some pics from last month.
