Not real sure why they didn't go all the way through. They started just fine, but about half way through the thread, it started to bind up. Couldn't get a couple to snug up. It may have something to do with the extra weight of the sweet custom rock sliders that were welded to these rails, but I don't really think so.
The nuts are in the frame, and it shouldn't do what it's doing, but it does!

Just my experience...

Hope you don't have similar luck with yours.
