How to bolt down your FWC

[Adventurebound]

Hello all. I would like this to be an instruction/example thread of how others have bolted their FWC to the beds of their trucks. Where they drilled, what hardware they have used, backing plates and any challenges. I am in the process of bolting down my 2017 Hawk but have no clue where to start. (Please don't respond...call FWC and ask them). This thread is a place we can all share information and examples. Pictures are super helpful. Thanks.

What i got out of it was to make sure the bolts go through the reinforced strips on the bottom of the camper. I would make 4"x 4" backing plates to attached to the floor to help disperse the load.
