Man I wish the search worked... Nope you can't leave it off. You must have enough bracket to tie the two fender struts together going side to side and up and down. Most people cut them off and cap them or buy the replacement with lights or other options in the ends.

Can't seem to search this but a while back there was a thread about this. A member here makes struts but I can't remember his name right now. They look very sharp. Maybe he'll see this topic and contact you. I'll dig around tomorrrow and should I find him, I'll PM you his info, worth looking at.

Thanks to Hogdoc and Tony for the info. Just so happens I've got an extra set of Pike Nuts off of my pan in the garage.

Someone made a change in code or moved a jumper or added a new piece of hardware and does not have it's attributes set correctly is my guess...
