Look, the factory bolts that I have removed from my Talon have mostly stripped out on the Allen head, not to mention, they are just BARELY long enough to do their job. I have replaced 26 bolts so far that have been stripped from the factory. Not a fan so far. On the thread side, I have had 9 lose their threads....

I don't blame him, he does a ton of stuff for me and is a very busy person. Aside from that, I did harass him all day about the bag and keep telling him, "You had one freaking job!" but in real life, he had almost $80K worth of shipments to get out that day! LOL, he is a good sport with a sense of humor

The others on the bed plate seem to be long enough from factory but those top ones were already starting to strip from dealer/factory…
Compared to the 40mm I think I got (from Ace)

Typical… skid doesn’t quite line up to factory locations
Made sure this connection point lined up good though

Was able to get most to line up good enough… I have two that I’ll have to enlarge so not terrible

Will need to cutout the side panel to mount the tree kickers before installing remainder of the skids… that’s a tomorrow problem as this cold is catching up to me now

Good to know… I was worried about the air filter clamp being loose which is how I broke it… 🤦♂️
Live and learn….

Cutouts complete for tree kickers. Used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel, razor blade, and a file.

Reinstalled lower side panels, Etched out those two holes and installed the remaining plates and bolts/washers… still have to install the self tappers but I don’t have any energy for that…

Still trying to figure out where to put my stickers.. for the Pioneer were on the rear panels (I liked that location)… not sure I like the underside of the roof yet
Backwoods
The best thing since sliced bread.
Lifetime Member
The only reason I did the underside on mine was I didn’t want them all over and they stay protected up there. On the outside is cool but as much as I wash mine they wouldn’t last 2 months. I’ve replaced countless MOM stickers for peeps due to pressure washers

Mine have stayed pretty well on the outside on the back panel so far
Backwoods
The best thing since sliced bread.

They probably will on your new one as well. Your not an overachiever in the wash dept yet but you probably will be on this one.
