Many people are saying the bolts need to be covered. Have they change that yet? What does Step2 think about this problem?

I wish Step2 would come up with a solution to this very unfinished step in the appearance to cover the two areas in question on model 512400. The way it is finished now only cheapens the look of a very nice looking mailbox otherwise. I am sure it would be very inexpensive fix for a needed solution. Roland Verrone

They are still uncovered but I don't see it as a problem. The mailbox looks great without them covered.

You have to really torque down the u-bolts. I also took some heavy grit sandpaper and scaped the inside of the u-bolt and the differential body where the u-bolts make contact. I have never had any slippage. I also sprayed the area with black rust preventer paint after assembly.

We had a slight problem getting the last bolt in the bottom to line up with the hole. We went back and loosened the other bolts, and then we were able to get that last bolt to line up. Afterwards we went back and re-tightened the other bolts.

From experience I would say leave them on. It can be difficult to put them on due the the location of the bolts.

All went well, perfectly, for me. There are well hidden screw holes atop your vehicle, which are exposed by removing small metal plugs. I used a torque wrench, because I had one. Is it necessary???

Go to a hardware store and get two new screws/bolts. Make sure you get two nuts to lock them down. I have always made sure the nuts are tight and have had no problems.

Robert - I emailed you the schematic, assembly & 2 covers. Send me a copy of your Mods. I would be interested in the component values you used/changed. Thanks, Jamie :)

I would contact the company, tell them the situation and they should send plastic bolts at a low cost. good luck.

By "covers" if you are referring to the tabs that cover the bolts, the answer is yes.

mine are on and covered with snow chains. suggest u buy the longest bolt that would go through the rim and weight holes, then mark the bolt where the end of the would be after the nut was put on.

Wow, I did not have that happen to me. Mine went together beautifully and looks great. I would suggest Lowes or Home Depot or a similar place. I suggest bringing the frame piece in need of the bolts to ensure a proper fit.

I had the same concerns but it can be installed without modifications. I believe there is a video on YouTube or a document online explaining the procedure.

Hi Elisa, The plastic covering on the bolt is a bolt guard to protect against damage during shipment. Yes, the bolt guard can be removed. Thanks for noting this; we'll see about changing the image. I hope this helps, Luis Juarez

Mounting bolts must be grounded good. Clean around bolt holes good to bare metal and reinstall. Good luck
