two way tape helps to install the inner bracket took longer to remove the spare then the brackets themselves lol the other bracket is easy once you figure out to push against the frame then screw it in or it will fall flat and its harder to get out

THANK YOU for the video. I got the passenger gusset in place in 5 minutes, but I was trying to jam the driver side gusset in around the brake lines for 45 minutes before I saw your vid. Watched the video and got it in 5 minutes later. Don't pull that out of context.

Also, I just got off the phone with Jason at SDHQ, and he tells me the torque for the 3/4" is 107 lb-ft, while the 9/16" is 44 lb-ft. Probably won't make a difference either way, but thought I would mention it.

Haha. I wish I was that easy. It wasn't that easy or fun to me. Plus I a hell of a time trying to keep that trapezoid piece to stand up and stay standing while I wrenched that down. To bad I don't drink because that job was definitely worth a couple beers. Lol
