Love the product, Works great I have zero complaints about the quality of the product. My complaints come from the packaging and missing of bolts and nuts. When i got the package it was ripped, Probable not Mud Skippers fault however the bolts and nuts that came with the kit were loose in the bottom of the box. I had to dig around to find what was left and then make a trip to the local hard-wear store to grab what i was missing.
