Not often do we have the opportunity to compare like parts. Due to starting my rebuild after having an accident that totaled my first truck, I've been able to question my past choice in upgrades. I had previously installed Alternative Offroad no-cut hood mounts. The install can be a bear and there are active threads on them. After install, I really did like them. They held up well off-roading.
Fast forward several months and I figured I'd take the slight risk on now trying the SDHQ no-cut mounts.
Based on side by side comparison, I'm predicting the SDHQ might go slightly smoother. I like the offset of the bolt holes near the 90 degree bend at the bottom of the bracket. Those that have had to install the Alternative Offroad mounts may have tried to take a dremel tool to grind the washer on the hood mounting bolt.
Posting pics of mounts for now. It will be several days before I have time to do the install. I'll update after.
