Yeah I know all the other ones were 100+ so keep an eye out they are out there!! If you guys install there is two mods I did--I notched the upper left corner of the bracket about 3/8 of an inch and cut 1/4 off the left side of the box to clear the bed rail.This wiill allow it to raise high enough so you don't see it underneath. Also I drilled a relief hole in the box just in case water gets in it.Oh one more thing at the bottom of the bracket you will need to space out with two washers one in the middle and zero at the top so it is at a slight angle. Otherwise the box gets hung up. That is not shown in the pics...
