Guess what LIQUIDNAIL Don't even bother with bolts this stuff is like cement, then again you could always weld it or bolt it down but thats kind of a hassle.... For trucks and stuff it's just wash, rinse, repeat LOL If you have any questions about a specific project send me a reply I'm happy to answer them when I get time....
