After a long hiatus I’m back to doing mods. This past week I added AFN 5th Gen frame mounted rock sliders/steps.
These were a bit of a challenge to install on the drivers side due to proximity to the gas tank and brake lines, but the look and feel very sturdy. We’ll see how they hold up soon I...

How many people are drilling for front bulkhead buttons, vs velcro, vs magnets? I've got the factory spay in bedliner and magnets just seem to slide all over it so I don't know if magnets will hold well.
OK - Nice...now I get it. Hopefully that was a picture you already had ;-)
So the module goes on that opening and the grommet is inside that opening going to the underside of the truck above frame level?

Will report back after a...
Problem occurred with 0 mods. I now have Xtrusion rack (updated post).
Wheels appear clean (no fluids) and no spots on driveway. I'll look closer this weekend...but where specifically.
