2 bolts into the junction where front and rear roll cage bolts together. That supports the weight. Not sure what I’ll do in the back to keep it from pivoting around those bolts.

Realistically, once it’s installed I’m not planning to take it off. I only pack light weight/ emergency gear up top for weight and it’s a pia to get stuff in and out. But I have it and figure I’ll use it.

Thanks I was thinking of it’s storage space but I’m afraid it to high and would catch on limbs and such.

Old Ironsides '21.
Added a couple things over this past winter, hood scoop, painted seats, under dash storage and nerfs. Two new batteries, new K&N filter, changed the gear oil in the diffs and a Honda full synthetic oil change. Did a thorough scrubbing on it today, Simple Green and a soft brush, lot of soap and water and wiping down. Finished off with some SC1, first time I've ever used it and it's the sh**! Turns the black plastics black again. It's not going to get any cleaner than this for the rest of the year so I took some glam shots.
Ready to ride.

Agree, that SC 1 is awesome. But made the mistake of putting it on my black Mustang dash. Sun now reflects like a mirror to the windshield. Soap and water wipe down and still hard to see.

The diamond plate I'm using is pretty thin, I can bend it with my aluminum brake. There are two layers on the front though and both Line X'd so it's pretty thick. I went through the bumper with the D rings right next to the frame with fat washers on the backside. Used a snatch block and the one on the passenger side to pull me out of a mudhole before, held up fine.

Thank you sir, if I can bend what I have, I plan to install it the same.

Looking good trigger! I've used the SC1 on a couple of my 4-wheelers after recommendations on the forum. Works great. Sh*t is expensive, but worth it.

Agree, that SC 1 is awesome. But made the mistake of putting it on my black Mustang dash. Sun now reflects like a mirror to the windshield. Soap and water wipe down and still hard to see.
I have always used "Mothers Back to Black" on all my cars, trucks and ATVS black trim. It looks almost like new, without the gloss. A lot cheaper than SC1 too. Google "cheap" and it will probably bring up "silver alert". :)
