And yet another update.
After fitting the "First Article" on to my 4Runner tonight, I have made the decision to beef up the rear mount bolts in the mounting kit that will come with the skid. I'm just really unhappy with the rear "rivnuts" that are on the frame.
The revised mount will require drilling the mount thru the thread (easily done with even a 9.9V drill motor) with a 3/8" or so (exact size known when I actually do it) drill bit and using the supplied M9 bolt and nut. This will be an optional deal as I will include the required extended length M8 bolt to use the stock threaded POS rear mount if you prefer.
Pics tomorrow night.
