I put my clamps where the split is on the bottom so that the gap in the clamp would help with drainage but I am not sure if that has worked or not but I have not had a problem with water or snow.


Edit: I also painted the pipe in the bed with BBQ grill (high heat flat black)paint to match the sray in liner looks real good I need to get aome new pic's of the thing.

Dont drill a hole, I like when people start their trucks and the water comes blowing out and rains back down on you..Brings a new meaning to acid rain..

You have SS DP? You want to drill the hole at the lowest point..so all the water will drain..Cody is a damn good welder..You dont want any water in there when you start up..

Your truck will look boss with them...Well your truck already looks BOSS any way..

Hope you get the hood straighten out..

Good deal Kris, now I've got that warm fuzzy feeling again.
I tried to post the picture on here I sent you (of course, to no avail). I was gonna take a 'stupid looking' poll. Oh well.
