Time to start over again. Last time

Had to postpone installing the LOD rock sliders. Some of the Gladiators on the back drivers side has a nut inside the frame and some don't. Mine has the nut and the bolts that LOD sends has different threads which I didn't realize in time. So I messed up the threads on the bolt and nut. Got a tap and die set ordered to fix the nut and get a new bolt. Hopefully I'll get them installed before I have to go back to work Saturday.

Ace Hardware, get a bolt with proper threads
 
After downloading the instructions from LOD for the rock sliders, these things are going to be a P.I.T.A to install. Got to get 2 extra bolts for the driver side rear and middle brackets. Plus I got to cut this bracket off and then grind and paint it, before I can install the right front LOD bracket.

I had to remove that as well when installing my LOD sliders as well. I was lucky to have my brother in law help me.
