Rally Armor mud flaps and SXTH Elements bed step bracket for TH

[mattlee]

Installed Rally Armor mud flaps. I went with these because I wanted something that is flexible so if I come off a rock onto a mud flap it will give and cause no damage. They are on the high end of cost and install. Removing the backing on the spacers was a pain without tearing up the spacer. Also installed SXTH Element bracket and bed step. I plan on buying longer bolts because of my aircraft maintenance background I believe a thread or two need to protrude from the nut. I’ll have to drop the spare to get that done.

I had the same issue tearing the foam backing off - RA said to heat it up with a hair dryer to make the glue soft.

For the SXTH bracket can you feed the bolt(s) in from the other side and have the nuts on the spare tire side? I'm looking at doing this install when my Amazon step arrives this weekend and it would be nice not having to drop the spare (but no biggie if I have to).

Looks fantastic
Both of those are great mods.

To remove the forward bolt, if you are replacing it, you'll need to drop the spare tire. If you are happy with the factory bolts there is no need to remove them and then there is no issue.
