    Chris, do you have pics of your relocation? I glimpsed at your build but didn't spot any. Did you wrap yours with exhaust wrap? Since it'll be sitting closer to the tranny...

    yes they did my y pipe relocation, no I'm pretty sure it wasn't mandrel tube, $80 was because he did it on his own time. I got off work at 3am back in those days and he showed up to his at 4am, shop didnt officially open until 6 iirc. That said i doubt it would be more than 150 even on shop time. No pics, didnt wrap it, I went around the back of the transmission. Cut the flange off the y, moved that back a little, turned it 90 degrees, and extended the passenger side with a short piece. All in all I am very happy with it, and have had no problems with it since.

    all they did was change the engine, new front end and back end body panels and reworked the interior. if they didnt change the cab i kinda doubt they changed the frame.

    its the camera angle, i mean the closest bend isnt even near 90 degrees, I just wasn't about to climb in the dirt to get a good picture, and now my skid is in the way to get a better one.

    Everything.
    Yes more for the LT guys that go fast/jump and have motor mount/tranny mount failures from the constant shock and flexing associated with offroading in the desert.

    So don't go to RPM then? I sure as hell don't know how to use a bender haha. I was gonna call and ask rpm if they have a mandrel bender and if they don't then I'm gonna go a different route.

    My buddy up north has the AP tranny skid with the dimple in it to keep the stock y pipe...thought about that but I would rather have a flat belly.
