    Just ordered it. Wasn't expecting it because I was told out-of-stock, but it arrived a few days later.

    You got my retired RCI Diff Skid.

    I wanted better rear D.S. U-joint coverage than the RCI.

    Not my truck, but notice how the front part of diff skid protects the DS U-joint.

    Joe- I’m getting ready to order these. The website doesn’t mention if sold in pairs or the pricing is for a single track. I sent an email, but maybe you know?

    Also, there are instructions for a steel roof, but how does it work for fiberglass?

    I believe you specify for steel or fiber glass and and from my limited YouTube checking the fiberglass kit comes with brackets to spread the weight.

    Also joe. I wanna order these too. Do they come with any tie down points or do you gotta order them separate. I see where you can buy a 4 pack or whatevs but do the rails them selves come with any

    So the downward force of a load will be spread with the fiberglass kit. But how does the system deal with upward force? i.e if I’m carrying a sheet of plywood and the updraft of the wind? Are there big ass washers underneath the fiberglass?

    Yea basically. The downward force is spread via the rail its self. It’s fiffy inches(or so depending on what size you get) to spread it out. Then instead of just straight bolting it to the cap there are basically flat stock brackets on the bottom to spread the load. Lemme see if I can find the video
