They lock into the soft top flap portion, and most of it was pretty simple to get in, but the front most flaps were so tight that I thought I was going to have to return it. I was able to get it in mostly through sweat and tears.

Maybe with this Texas heat it'll stretch out a little bit, but if I ever take it off I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get it back on!

Holds up with wind at 70 mph, so that's worth something.
It looks cool, good price but my thought is; a hardtop you need any of that stuff. 🤪

Also, shouldn't F42 be pulled when the AUX is deleted?
If you’re bypassing the aux ( pulling off the aux neg from main neg cable ) then you pull it, if you’re deleting (taping off the aux neg, and attaching aux hot cable to main hot cable) then no you don’t have to remove it…..this is what I’m doing, and the little aux battery finished out the remainder of its life in the riding mower, RIP …..😂

And it won't generate the A! light on the dash if the fuse is left in?

I deleted mine.

Plus, now I can turn my auxiliary battery compartment into a dutch oven! ;)
Been trying to come up with something clever to use that space for….. 2.5 years later……ya, I got nothing 🫤

Is it weird that the cockeyed license plate somehow makes it better? It's like two wrongs making a right... :)
You left out the part where there’s eight holes drilled, but only six of the eight are utilized.

(but who in the phucccccckkkkkkkk is counting?)

So the wood is not kiln dried, and it is in fact indoor wood. That's why I had to seal it and then truck bed linered it as well.

All the holes were pretty flush with the wood, but for whatever reason the bottom innermost holes on both sides the wood was flexing too much, and I didn't want to split it so I've had to just leave those bolts out.

In the end it actually worked out really well because I was having trouble finding nuts and bolts that would work in that area.

If I was going to keep that front bumper long term, I probably go out and buy some bolts specifically for it. The realistically speaking my next bumper is going to require bolts as well so at some point in the future I will have to buy proper grade 8 bolts for that area.

Eh, troubles for another day! ;):whew:
Gonna go a little more rustic next time?
