    I have 5% tint all around on my truck, before had trouble reversing even with the cam and led reverse lights. 75% of the time I would have to roll my front windows down. Now with these lights, no issues at all!

    U-channel is 7/8 across and the legs of the U are 9/16

    Parts list for bed rail attachment (for one section of aluminum):
    3/8-16 x 1-1/4 bolt
    3/8 1/2 fender washer
    3/8 regular washer
    3/8 lock washer

    Parts list for attaching QF mount to the aluminum:
    10-32 1" pan head
    #10 washer (2x) - I used the exta washer atop the nylon supplied with the QF as it's designed for a flat head screw and I flipped it over
    #10 lock washer
    10-32 stop nut

    And yes I also loctite'd the whole setup too. Harley Davidson taught me you can never be too careful

    Oh... I didn't realize that exhaust had to modded for it to fit cuz I'm eventually gonna armor my under carriage too. What exactly do you have to reroute/modify?

    You can buy skids for the factory exhaust as well, but it will have a "bump" downward to clear the exhaust where it crosses under the transfer case. Doing the reroute you get a smooth skid.

    Installed my SOS Concept front skid today. Solid and beefy product :thumbsup:











    The SOS skid replaced this one I bought awhile back: BPF front skid

    It developed a long 16" hairline crack at where the bolt holes were. Gotta get it rewelded.
