I have only gussets on it. I’m not a fan of sleeves or trussing. It’s held up great for me but not something I was comfortable running long term with what I like to wheel.

Sorry Mark. The slabs are gone.

That’s what I thought but pictures of the same size show straight and then others turned. I got pissed and said screw it. Lol

So I reduced my picture size more. Let's see how this goes.
Moving along it was time to start getting ready for the 40's. Evo corner guards and carrier....The corner guards were surprisingly easy to get lined up and installed. Few ratchet straps and done.
I previously had the Pandemic rear lights installed so my cut-outs were a touch larger than I like. Like a whole damns storage compartment back there.
Last look before I started in on the carrier which was a whole different ball game.

Somebody’s got you covered. If you rotate them in Microsoft paint or something like that. Then save them and they go in straight. Or just own it like Brute!!

:cheesy:
Try opening them in Windows Paint & rotating them. I know it's a cheesy program but this is quick & simple with it.

So I am going to skip some steps here as I was really pissed and frankly didn't stop to think to take some photos. Per the advice of Ddays and others, I built a little jig stand to hold the carrier and used my jacks to adjust it in place. Worked like a charm. However, like most, the damn bracket alignment put the stupid bolts right smack in the middle of the pinch seam.
Decided to try a different route to solve this.
. A lot of patience, yelling, yelling at my dog who wouldn't get out of my face while doing this I was done grinding out metal at all four corners.
Final product before breaking it all down and doing final paint.
What I can't show you is the 2.5 plus hours playing with those damn joints trying to get it to align. I think my driver lower is about 1/8" too high during install as no matter what I do it's a tight fit. Many thanks again to Ddays through both the corner and carrier install for taking my calls and texts to make sure I wasn't royally messing something up.

No shame in my game. You all know how long it has taken me to even get here. If a rotated picture is my biggest problem then I'm winning!

Corners & carrier came out great :thumb:
Of all the things EVO does great, for the life of me I can't figure out why they don't move those goddam bolts for the carrier hinge forward a measly half inch. Did you paint yours or powdercoat? Mine are starting to age & for what I paid for the powdercoating on it, it wasn't worth it. I'm gonna paint it next go round.

Looks real good. It will be interesting to see how high the spare is off the ground once you have a 40 on there. That’s my only concern with my AEV carrier.

Painted them. I drive mine in the winter at times and have yet to come across powder coat that will hold well. Rattle can is easy enough to touch up.

Thanks Mark. Appreciate it
