Like others I was a little concerned at how damaged the box was. Happly the bar was very well protected and didn't have a scratch on it. Glad I checked here before freaking out at FedEx for losing the hardware. 
(and like many other people, the box was in a pretty bad shape, but the bar itself was fine). Skemcin wrote:## UPDATE ##
All bags of hardware were shipped yesterday afternoon - Each bag contains 3 - 1" spacers, 3 - washers, and 3 - M8 x 1.25 x 55mm bolts. Most people can expect to see it this coming Monday or Tuesday.
Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.
And, once again, thank you for your patience as we correct this issue.
I am very interested in seeing pictures of your final install - here is a thread to show off your pictures!!

For the installation, I have to remove the two U-shaped brackets that hold the sway bar on, slip the light bar between the frame and the rubber sway bar padding thingys (official terminology FTW), and bolt the U-shaped brackets back on, on top of the light bar... right?
Then the two original bolts are reused for the rear-most two holes, and the new bolts are used for the front-most three holes, replacing the originals that used to hold the plastic cover on?
Thanks! Can't wait to get this installed...after work...sigh...
Cool. I'm really impressed with your truck. I think, as you mentioned elsewhere, you should go with HELLA Black Magics. They come with those black HELLA covers which will match the truck much better than the white ones (like on mine). Then, when the covers are off, the lights themselves will just go along perfectly with your truck's theme (if it should even be called that). Let me know when ever you're ready for a winch - I can still get them pretty cheap.baja_gernaut wrote:Recieved the bolts yesterday.
What can you get the winches for? I've found some online for 210.00Skemcin wrote:Cool. I'm really impressed with your truck.

Oh, and for everyone else, if for any reason you don't have bolts already, they should surely be there today. Please let me know if there are any issues.
That's exactly what I was suspecting - but didn't want to introduce the bias, wanted to see if the conclusion could be drawn from removing the skid plate. But yeah, that's what I would suspect. The plate not only covers much more area than the plastic, but it will not absorb sound like the plastic would.baja_gernaut wrote:Now that guys mentioned about noise, I can hear the engine working but probably it's the echoing that is bouncing off the metal cover. I am not worried about because I know the engine is good. But thanx for mentioning and now I am more attentive the engine but it is not significant to bother me.
