    No, I used Milwaukee’s “multi tool” but I’m sure a Dremel would be fine.

    Installed Ride Rites with Daystar Cradles, little bit a challenge with the wheeler's shackle flip kit, but made it work using @alvinfromhawaii's install method of modifying lower mount plate.

    Sold my OEM trd skid for $50 to a cool local dude. Wanted to take a moment to show off my Rye grass (I take pride in my lawns). Will be installing my full steel skid trio this weekend.

    I'll be the first to say it, it looks a bit janky but it is damn stout. I was originally concerned about tree limbs, now idgaf, it'll snap the smaller ones.
