You might wait on the mounting until you have the bed finished. Without something to secure the rear, the cab will pop off. For a front clip, I always cut a square of plastic and then cut the shape of the clip out of that. You could start on that, but without the bed you won't be able to make it fully secure.

I have seen people use velcroe on the sides on the battery tray and inside of the body, if you get some heavy duty stuff this might be an option to consider.

Still not sure what to do about the box, I chopped it on the right side of the tailgate, And placed it on, but since its a stepside theres a hunk of the box that hangs waay out past the cab now, and it dosnt look right. I also have my front fenderflares on and ill post some pictures.

any ideas on what i should do about the box?

thats quite the project you got there. one tip on the wheel nuts to prevent them from coming off you could get the aluminum wheels nuts they come in various colours too. and you can get them off www.ebay.ca umm www.xmodsinternational.com and www.atomicmods.com

firebird please start reading before you post, he just said it's broken and he wont be able to finish it.
