Welding up the drivers side
So drilling the mounting holes in the frame was major PITA. Ended up buying a 90 degree drill adapter from harbor freight to reach the top holes. I was a little unsure of how it would pan out, but it got the job done.
Gussets welded in
More welding
Stopped for a nutritious dinner
Then it was back to welding and grinding. Ended up getting both sides done and ready for paint last last night.
A quick coat of paint this morning and I was able to mount them on the truck this afternoon. A couple of the bolt holes needed to be “adjustedâ€, but they went on fairly smooth.
I'm very happy with the way they turned out. It's gonna take a while to get used to having them there though. I went to get out of the truck tonight and my foot fought the top bar and about fell on my face. Haha.
