It’s been brought to my attention that you may not be able to use the carriage bolts on 163 tunnels. I have done this mod without the carriage bolts, just using the two rivets and bumper bolts to tie it back together. I didn’t have any issues.. but it’s up to you! Thanks again for watching!

If you want more you could notch the flap bracket and flap around the cooler only downside it would not have as much protection against being bent on the upside you would keep all the cooling

When you say you feel the tail end dragging. I would think leaving the flap defeats the purpose. Or does moving the bumper allow the flap to flex out of the way even more?
@Rossxr3 жыл бұрын
because the flap moves and flexes you don't feel it as much. no flap is the best but I need it for cooling when I haul all my camera gear. and when snow is firm.
