Do you have to remove/re-use the 3 body mount bolts like on some after market units? How do they mount? To the frame? To the under body? Thanks.

You do not have to remove any mounts these steps mount to pre drilled holes in the body on a crew can truck

I did not mount them, I had my buddy do it at Breeze Auotomotive. From what I understand they are the factory steps and are very easy to install. Sorry I do not have details to pass along though.

Brackets are already on the step rails and hard point mounts are already on the body. The forward two mount points have threaded inserts already provided by the factory and the back two mount points have open holes for clip nut inserts provided in the step rail hardware. Easy to install.

You need to remove your seat from the seat post and slide the rack onto the seat post. There are three concentric plastic inserts or "shims" that are inside the rack's mounting hole. Use as many of these as you can fit in order to create a tight fit between the rack and the seat post. You can use one, two or all three shims, depending on the width of your seat post. You may need to loosen the mounting bolts first, using the included hex wrench. Once it's slid onto the post, tighten the bolts until the rack doesn't move at all and then reattach your seat to the seat post. In my case, the mounting bolts actually snapped while I was tightening them (the bolts are pretty low quality), so I bought some replacement bolts at Home Depot that were much stronger. I know many people get it to work fine with the included bolts but I wasn't so lucky. With the new bolts, though, this thing is as solid as a rock. Very happy with it.

On a bike you remove the nut that holds the axle to the frame (opposite of the gear cogs), put the mount on the thread and then put the nut back on and tighten it down. It will not move if you do it right.

it depends on the mounting point you use. I returned mine due to damage it caused to the frame. Very poor design.

It comes with mounts, that attach to the frame like an aftermarket hitch, and also uses the 4 frame bolts utilizing the mount that comes with it.

I can't remember exactly how we attached it. I seem to remember black U-bolts that come through pre-drilled holes in the rack. I don't remember the front to back dimension. I remember it was quite secure. It was installed on a 2003 BMW 325i sedan with OEM rails. We don't have that car anymore, and the rack is in a storage facility, out-of-state (consequence of having 3 kids all over the world.) I remember being impressed with the design, both before and after our 2000-mile trip. At the time, it was the only structured car-top case you could get that was compactable.

I didn't actually install them myself but I took it to my school and they were able to install them with no problem. He told me that since they were shipped directly from China, they are reversed from the ones in the US. He just switched them up (not sure what or how) but they work great! Before he installed, he said that the only issue he was worried about was that the back would not be long enough but it did so there were no problems. I have a 26er Large frame. These things work awesome!

Mount under the hood if possible to trim down on noise. My is mounted underneath on frame and I haven't had no problems with it

So far, I cannot find a way to remove the arm. There is little to no documentation that comes with the unit, and not a whole lot about it online. I basically have mine (3 of them) VESA mounted but with the rear arm attached and the round stand attached.

I have a few spares lying around but I just moved to a different house and can't find them at the moment for a quick measure. Apparently they are notorious for missing bolts and you should call them about sending them to you. Once you get this beast on though you'll love it. I just got in a bumper-bender with mine except it was the other guy's that got destroyed and there was just a small scratch on mine. Nothing glossy spray paint couldn't fix...

I had to remove the bolt holding mirror onto bracket to install the bracket to frame. After this was done I reinstalled mirror to mounting bracket. Just pay attention to how the washer and spring are located so you can reattach correctly. I suggest doing only one at a time so you will have the untouched 2 nd mirror to refer to if you forget.worked good for me except I had to add some washers to the bolt heads to keep them from pulling thru the bracket when tightened.

You don't need mounting hardware when u take old mirrors of there is three nuts that u will reuse the bolts are part of the mirior and will be the same way on the new mirrors

Mine came with all the hardware needed to bolt the frame to it. Be care not to over tighten because the frame is wood. But it needs to be tight. Its a good idea to check it about a week after use and re tighten as needed. A little tighter than the previous time until it stays tight. Just a suggestion is all.

Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do. As I recall, the position of the slot relative to the body cannot be changed, it is spring loaded. I had hoped to install it, adjust the position by turning the body, and then securing it with the screws when I got the position right based on the idle, but I could not get it to work. The idle was too high and I could not bring it down. The local shop couldn't adjust it either, apparently they are calibrated together at the factory. I ended up having to buy a whole new throttle body assembly. Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do.

My experience is it's a hit and miss proposition. Often times you have to do some modification to get it to work. I have only fixed one where it was a direct mount in replacement. All the others required modification. Sorry I can't be more helpful to you than that!

There should be 3 bolts on the left side and 2 on the right from Dodge.. At least that's the way 2011-2013 models are. Both sides should have a metal strip inside the frame rails that has nuts welded to them. Remove the existing bolts for reuse. Try not to move that rail assembly. Make sure it is aligned with the frame rail holes before placing the hitch in place. You can only move the rail assembly through the frame rail holes.

I would say yes you would have to take off what you have to install these. They probably are similar to what you have. They bolt up in the existing bolt holes on the bottom flange of the frame
