Yeah, I don't care about vert lol...
All I had was a picture of it installed so the template they sent me will work out nicely.

Yeah, that sh!t isn't going to happen...I'm possitive it'll fit since this is the first i've heard of anyone having to cut anything.

No problem. I know how frustrating and involved the install can be. If I can help others out with a few posts and/ or answering some questions then that's great. If I come up with anything else I will continue to post.

Rock on!

that vert install is very clean. i like that fire extinguisher mount. there was a discussion once about the legality of mounting it up that high. i want one of those if that is legal. nice clean look.
where did you get that bar mount for the fire ext?
