If you could get some up close pics of them and how they mount that would be greatly appreciated!

so ill work on getting pics in the next day or 2 as i have been riding my motorcycle to work the last couple weeks and have since misplaced my truck key, so i cant open the door and take pics of the mounting location lol. I designed the brackets to emulate those that i have seen for other trucks. The brackets are made from 3/16" steel and mount via three Riv-Nuts installed into the inner "A" pillar under the weatherstriping. the only other modification needed is to the aluminum strip that the retains the weather stripping about 3 inches need to be trimmed off with no side affect of any leaks or anything of the sort. after i shape the brackets they are coated in bedliner. the tool i have to install the riv nuts is $40 to buy so ill either rent it for the cost of shipping or see if i can figure out a way to mount the Riv-Nuts without it via a screw and washers. as far as cost goes based of the price of other truck brackets that go for $160+ as well as these take me quite a few hours of my time to make plus materials, i'd be asking $105 shipped in the US which would include the brackets and mounting hardware. aside from more detailed pics in the next couple days what are everyones thoughts? i would post up a thread in the for sale section once im ready here soon and i would only take one order at a time till i felt i could handle more if that time ever came.

Like I said, I will definitely keep this in mind, but funds are low and I have other things to buy for my truck first. Don't count me out, just not in right now.

not a problem. When i start making them i imagine it being slow going at first till i get a system going biggest thing i want to accomplish is see if the $100 is a fair price point for them to everyone. Obviously we all like things that are cheaper myself included, but i need to make it worth the many hours it takes me to get these made that are taken away from spending time with my family as my career takes a lot of it as it is. if anyone is wanting to have the first set i plan on trying to get a set done this weekend.
