I hadn't seen anyone else who bolted theirs up like that until now. They work loose a bit from time to time but I have yet to have any problems with it.
Crossing my fingers that this fresh gasket solves my wet cargo floor issue. I have the drawers out to encourage drying, but with quarantine time I might pull the seats and install the vinyl floor.

Actually I have had the brackets on for almost a year with 1000's of off road miles. Yesterday I changed them to a yellow zink pair.
The olds ones were as tight as the day I put them on and showed no wear.Maybe because they are heavy-duty with more contact area has something to do with not loosening up.
Are you doing the gasket yourself? I need to do mine as well due to a leak in the lower right corner coming through the gasket.
I've that gasket in the new parts pile as well.
Does the gasket gets sealant on both sides like the windshield?
Suppose I could look in the book myself, but with so little free time these days...

New bumper...who dis? Thanks to my good buddy @Kyle Fogle at Treaty Oak Offroad and also the team at Dobinson’s USA for helping me get this bumper delivered and installed. I love it!
I looked in the FSM pdf I had and couldn't find any info about this gasket installation, so I just cleaned the mounting surface off and installed it dry with a small rubber mallet. The old gasket had deformed quite a bit but there wasn't any sealant inside that I could tell. It takes longer to clean off the mounting surface than it does to get the new one installed, probably 30 mins total. Just align the blue dots on the gasket with the upper corners of the hatch seams, with the wide part of the flange facing out. This puts the splice in the center bottom of the opening.
It looks like its supposed to get sealant on both sides if you have airbags.
Good series of videos on rear hatch seal from another thread.
heres the middle one:
Panel snaps back into place and I still have access to the compressor. After a year, ****!n? Finally! It took a pandemic to give me a reason to mount it

Oh— I didn't do the glass seal, I did the hatch (aka back door 
) seal. The big boi around the entire rear hatch opening, top and bottom. It's just a piece of U-shaped semirigid foxing with a bulb gasket attached. Agree that the glass seal gets sealant just like the windshield. I need to do that too, but not going to pull the glass on my own.

Tried my hand at some dent removal. Used a couple of rubber mallets. Held one at different spots around the dent and tapped with the other. Not perfect, but much better.., first two are before and last two are after
Let's see...

Good lord. I need to put this higher on my to-do list.
This truck came out of Cali last year, spent all the winter inside here so it’s all from its previous life.
