Josh, your link doesn't work. When you are in photobucket, mouse over the picture that you want to use then select direct link. Goto reply to this thread and use the picture of a mountain (yellow mountain thing) above the text you type then paste the link in the link bar.

When i did mine i ran the bolts thru the outer and inner panel and then got a piece of bar stock atl from the depot to tie the bolts together and brace it. I have never had a day of trouble with it...and the body panels are still in perfect shape.
Now granted i am not a heavy off roader..but still, no issues thus far.

You're fine man. I have no extra support besides the bolts in the body and I have been off road a good bit. I've been in mud up to my doors (I'm glad I didn't know it was that high when I went through it. I would of been like oh #$%$) and also up and down some pretty big hills/inclines/declines. Mine is the same as the day it was installed. No damage anywhere.

Although I won't be going in mud that deep for awhile. The mud caused my truck not to start up a few months ago. I had fried something because mud got in it. Ahhh.... mud does evil things.... evil things man.
