    Mine only tore on the O in toyota and A in tacoma on the tailgate.. I'm gonna try to put it back on as is, shouldn't make a difference at all once I put the 3m tape on the back to hold it back together and paint over it.. If it doesn't work I'll find new ones and paint em. Any recommendations on where to get them?

    Look at build!
    Never heard the fm50 on our truck but I had the 40 series and im much happier with the magnaflow, just depends on if you want it loud or not.. I prefer just a little rumble when I want to hear it!

    I had to use a hammer to get mine through. I think I may have used a metal rod as a punch to get it all the way though. A screwdriver may work as well.

    I removed my 3" Alcan springs and swapped back in the stockers for now. I'm planning on getting Icon 3 leaf AAL's. The Alcans were too high for my liking (more like 3.5" lift), plus I could use some extra change. My stock leaves actually are in decent shape. The Icon AAL's should suit me well. I do not offroad nearly as much as I thought I would. A "for sale" thread will be posted later today with the springs along with some rear 5100's I have.
