    You had to grind the corner down right? I ran into the same issue. On the plus side that skid is super beefy.

    I just put an LED light under my hood too. Lights up the whole engine bay. I've been wanting one for a long time and found some lights on Amazon, $8 for 2 :D

    Just a regular switch. I drilled a hole in the core support and mounted a switch that was easy to get to. Its basically right above the driver side headlight in between the hood bumper and coolant overflow bottle. I was going to do a momentary switch but I had this one on hand already. Which switch did you use? Here are the lights I got

    Killer, those are the exact same lights I got, I should have known to check Amazon! I used this switch basically right where you put yours on top of the rad support so the hood shuts it off, works well. I'll be leaning over the engine bay sometimes and my chest will turn it off, gets me every time I think something blew haha

    Stopped by BAMF for a minute to check out the new digs and buy a RTT. Coaxed Jerry into flexing out my truck, I need more flex out of my leafs I still have way more shock to go, the rear tire was lifting not the front. Any suggestions on the rear leafs?

    I liked them too. I think Amazon bought them out or something.

    Nice flex.

    Hey I was just wondering when you had the spidertrax wheels spacers on a while ago did you have them on with 285's and how long did you have them on? How did they treat you? Thanks!

    I have an inchworm crawlbox and gesr driven J shift case with a tg crossmember sitting in the garage ready to go in, marlin crawler rear diff protection needs to be welded on, and fab up a rear tire swing out. Swing out and diff will happen for sure, hoping my guy has enough time to do the cases!!

    Thanks dude, I had never maxed it out before

    I did but not for that long maybe 500 miles. They rubbed a lot so I took them off, I have them on again and they are good! No problems, they are my favorites on the market

    Yeah i was thinking about putting them on mine with 285's cuz i rub my frame at full lock with 4.5 bs 0 offset but only on the passenger side its weird. Think an alignment will help cuz i need one? Then if that dont help i will probably put the spidertrax on! Other than that i wheeled and flexed it a little and it dont really rub!

    An alignment could help! Shoot for as much caster as possible, it will push your wheel forward and there will be less rubbing. I try and shoot for 2* caster
