Ahhh. I’ve always wondered if all models had the same Oem skids but never confirmed.

Are you talking about the bolts you get at from underneath to mount the “arms” to?

I remember the area being a little tricky to navigate holding the skid and getting the nuts on, but I don't think I needed any special tools besides a long extension.
Is yours a Diesel? (I read on your bio you have a 2020, so I assume gas). On the Diesel it is quite tough (impossible?) to get up there. As I recall, an extension wouldn't even work because of the angles. But I might take another run at it, maybe remove fender liners etc. and see if I can get in there, if so, get an impact wrench, angled extension, etc.

Gasser. Was pretty straight shot from underneath.
I use a version of this to get the air box screws out

That whole not getting a winch thing didn’t last long ?
I hadn’t used mine once since I put it on until about ~2.5 years later. But man, when you need one you need one.

Yes wolfstorm off Amazon. They have held up ok… they do rust, I had to repainted them with bed liner. I only paid $150 for them though, I believe they are more now.
