Tonight I was able to get the rear brakes bled, the bumper back on, the rear wheels back on and torqued, and started on the bed liner. I cut some slots in it to be able to access the eye bolts I put in for lefting the bed. This will allow me to not have to remove the bed liner in the future, if I have to lift the bed again, and will allow me to tie things down in the bed easier. Once I get the bed liner done, I can put the tail gate back on and take it for a spin!

The c notches will definitely give me more rear suspension travel, a little over 4":

Adding tie downs to my steppy is something I've thought about for years. Got some pics so I can see what you went with?
I've got a few different ideas I'm floating around in my head as to which way I wanna go.

Sure, I'll post some tomorrow night (or next time I get out to finish the bed liner)!

It's pretty easy to do. I just replaced the top bolts for the side braces with M8-1.25 eye bolts. Used some spacers to space them out past the indents. I'll add 3" chain quick links to the eye bolts so the come through the liner.

Here are the eye bolts and quick links I'm using:

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

For some reason the links wont work... Amazon is where I got them.

Might have to temporarily disable the ad blocker and then they might come up?

Can y'all see the links and use them?

Anyone not running an ad-blocker can see them, but anyone who is may not. For future reference, if you post links starting at the "www." and delete the "https://" at the beginning they'll show up as normal text and everyone can see/click them.

Thank you!!!

Let's try this again. Drunkcanuk, hopefully this time works (without the https/ part):
