Adam your 100% correct I put the car in the garage after the Mopar Nats disconnected the battery and put the car cover on it not seen it since. I dont intend lifting the cover off for a couple of years.

Why oh why did the guy do all the fancy shapes, just makes the side plates weaker

I think this is why; You can see that the shape of my brackets don't match the design in the article. That's because I had some unique requirements. The most obvious was that under breaking they need to be able to tuck up inside the running board bracket.

solution to that is chop the hell out of the running board bracket

better still throw the running board in the bin :lol:
