Jim,

Looked at the pics. I have two comments:

Looks great!
Looks really ugly!

You'll be able to easily assign the comments to the appropriated pictures.

I'm using the Fleckster's plates and they are heavy duty! The bigger 
U-bolts give me a sense of security, and his plates don't appear to 
me as if they'll ever be a problem.

I had one problem with the installation, but as it turned out, it was 
due to a lack of paying attention on my part, not a problem with the 
kit. I think that it was his plate kit that prompted me to send him 
the overbuilding, underbuilding quote that he uses in his signature.

Thanks for sharing the trip, and the experience. Nice of the ATV'ers 
to give you a hand.

John
