Thanks for the info. Mine is arriving Weds and likely will install over the weekend.
Regarding the front bolts, I'm hoping I can use other hardware. Perhaps Turner was just trying to make the install easy and "use factory hardware" as a selling point.
Worst case scenario I can mount the mesh on the bottom/outer side of the skid plate and only need room 'inside' for flat machine screw heads.
