I am just interested to see how they have done it and what mounting points they used, as I will be making something similar. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just interested to see how Ford had done the front rail. Tab: ???, ???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW they suck, hence making new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be able to make something no problems, was just interested to see how Ford has done it. But if it's crap I'll go with my own design. Thanks again.
