Used it as a towing point (which was a stupid idea) and it got bent out. I bent it back in but i didn't want it falling off on the road so i broke it off. I'll eventually repair it down the road.

Aren't those things like $1000? You already had lights, what made you go that route instead of the Deaver Springs?

11 hours of grinding, cutting, epoxying, riveting, drilling, and prying = making progress!

Here are some pictures of Mcneils 7 foot bed sides being trimmed to 6 feet and mounted to my bed.

yeah, if you look at the second and third pic you can see where i had to peel them off. I really didn't want to do it and ruin my perfectly ok bed but I had no other choice.
