The first thing to go in were the 3/8" c-notches from CPP. These things were beefy! The first one fought us and the other went in without a single adjustment.

The supplied grade 8 14 7/16 x 1 1/2 bolt wasn't long enough to get the nut started through four layers of steel in one location. So, another quick trip out to AutoZone solved that problem. Well, almost. They only had one 2" bolt and the other was thirty minutes away.

Another strange observation was that the instructions, which suck, stated that the bolts were supposed to be 20 treads per inch, but they were all 14 TPI.

Attention: its just a really funky angle that I took the picture at and the frame didn't twist.
