Forgot to mention that I prefer using a zinc plated nut with stainless threaded fasteners so you don't have to worry about galling nearly as much as you would with a stainless nut. If someone lives where that matters, I can try and dig up some suitable alternates to one or the other.
I was asking more for us 8274 guys so I know if there was going to be any extra work other than finding the right length bolt.
I sell a lot of plated ubolts at work and only use serrated flange nuts for the same reason.

I drove from Tucson to Hesperia and had lunch with a buddy in Riverside and drove back to Tucson in the same day couple weekends ago. It's taking UPS 6 days to deliver this stuff. I'm not in a hurry to get it because it won't be going on anything for a while. I just like to complain about UPS shipping.
How long would it have taken you if you had to wait because your buddy doesn't go out for lunch on holidays or weekends?
Did I miss one that has a defect somehow? If so, I need to replace it with good one and send a call tag to get the bad one back.
Ok 4 days to go ~450 miles for $20. I think I spent around $200 in the TJ for the 1,000mi round trip in 18hrs. That was on a Sunday tho.
Luckily you getting screwed over is why we switched to USPS Priority when we finally pulled our heads out of our asses and figured it out. Just be glad you aren't Zorba. Next thing I send him is going Bulk Mail rate, only cost a couple of bucks but it takes 31 days to get there.

No, it’s good, it’s just the lighting. But thank you for looking closely at it.
There was a brief period where my help was assembling fairleads while I was packing so even though I like to put hands on each item, I may have missed one.
I hope its not packed half as good as the brakes. I'll just leave it in the box until i need it.
If its cheap, I'm all for it! Here's the funny thing though. Once in a "blue moon", I actually would be willing to pay for "expedited shipping", or even 2 day. When I am, it isn't available! Sigh... I think I've been in that position maybe twice in the last decade.
