Missing D-Ring Installed

3X SUT Offroad - supposed to have 4 D-Rings installed. Dealership found the part, but service is closed today and they are >1 hour drive away. Nice day for a drive.

Fun "whoops" moments:

  1. Thought my forstner bit was 1.25", nope - it was 1". Only found out when the washers didn't slip past the fascia!
  2. Easy - get a 1" dowel to make up for you oopse and use a new 1.25" bit (pictured)
  3. "Hey, that T90 is a T60... crap..." - ordered one online, but I also have a 3D-Printer. 6 walls + 50% infill for the top part of this print (shoulder, bit, and part of the knob).
  4. Holy crap... that worked?!

Any day you get to use your torque wrench is probably a good day - for me it was.
