    Hey folks,


    I just noticed that vendors supply standard/SAE hardware for accessories. Is there a reason for this? Wouldn’t it be better to swap it out for metric to match the rest of the truck?

    Cost. - SAE hardware is cheaper.

    I wouldn't bother switching it out. You can probably get away with using metric tools on most of it anyways.
