I have questions on how they mount. Were the factory bolts/ locations used again or was everything bolted all the way through?
the reason I ask is because I can remmeber on our last trip when someone had thier rubber Duck UC protection falling off due to the threads stripping out and the bolts bending or shearing off. My stock skid and UC protection crap was bent to hell and I also lost a couple of bolts due to them pulling out. I have no doubt that stuff won't bend or even dent, but will it stay on due to the factory weld nuts and mounting points?

The Midrails are bolted thru the frame with nuts so that will not be a problem at all. If a bolt breaks, you can just replace it. I bought some grade 8 bolts to carry along as backups, just in case.
The Skid uses the factory mounting holes. In a matter of a few minutes we tapped these holes and put in larger sized bolts. Also, on the skid, you can use bolts/nuts on mid section. The outside two holes can be accessed from on top. I elected not to at this point so that it can be removed easier. But again, I have backup bolts that I could put on.
