My only gripe is that the front passenger bracket with the carriage bolt could not be tightened since there was no space to do so per the instructions. I know RCI says we can put the nuts on the outside but really, proper design philosophy should have the carriage bolts on the outside so that if they hit something hard (they are skids for off-roading right?) the domed head slides over the obstacle instead of shearing off the nut and bolt that are exposed.
I was able to pre fit everything, drop the skid to tighten that one carriage bolt, then install per instructions. A little inconvenience for a fantastic design and fabrication so I’m not disappointed.
