Well, something just arrived at the shop for @t_j. We'll get some pictures up tonight after it goes in.

Just tell him it has not arrived and send it up to snoball and I will but it in my truck...

Well initial impressions are its ******* badass setup! Packaging is amazing! It's going on tonight so I will post up pictures later.

So here are my post install notes:

- Required people 2
- Install complexity 3-4 beers post completion plus a 6 pack for your helper
- Check your bed bolts before installation time so you don't end up wasting time welding a socket to a stripped bolt (luckily I have a few spare bolts hanging around)


Some thoughts:

- There was some heat warpage of the drivers side frame that made it very difficult to get everything into place without the help of some additional clamps.

- The disk on the tie down handle is to small for a method wheel it slips through the center allowing the handle to mar the inside lip of the wheel

- Although stated otherwise it will not fully work with a roll-x cover, the rails for the cover touch the side of the tire and could cause wear to the sidewall if there was any movement


Overall I am VERY pleased with the product and will be working out a solution to the center hole problem.

Hmm, any future options of maybe bed support setup on both sides but with for a single-spare tire mounted laying flat in the center-rear of the bed? Or a custom order perhaps?

I'm sure we could, but then you're really limiting the other bed space, but it's up to you!

Is there a plate in behind the inner box side where it's bolted on where the wheel would sit?

Never mind, I just seen it in one of the pictures

Good point, or perhaps just one spare that can be mounted flat on the passenger side, I'd go for something like that.
