    my cheap Amazon bar had moisture in it so i opened the end caps and over silicone the crap out of the ends. After letting the light dry out i screwed it all back on and it was fine. Hasn't had moisture since.

    Oh yea, I recommend that with every single light bar. Shit gets missed, I don't care how meticulous people are. I've seen enough moisture issues and had people check screws and find some that arent even hand tight. Some that are loose from the manufacturer.

    Step 2 went better. All-Pro t-case skid basement chop. First picture illustrates the why.

    courtesy of @bayareataco . Have had zero issues. And I like to get this damn truck wet, muddy, whatever you wanna call it.

    Like Sam said, you can always open it up and seal it for peace of mind.

    The welds aren't pretty, but the contrast between the shiny new pipes and the mud- caked y-pipe is where a lot of the comments are coming from IMO. That sticky Hollister mud...image.jpg

    Finally got my SCS wheels mounted (pictures to come soon, had to get right back to work) and the shop installing asked if $80 was good. I told them I have always paid $60 there, but could do $80 if that is what they are charging. He then asks me what I wanted to pay, naturally I said $60. Cracked me up he gave me the option, but I was stoked, although he said if I would have paid with a card it would be $70. The shop cracks me up, but they are cheap and do good work, plus have a road force balancer.

    There is a tire broker in town that I love. Won't go anywhere else. They only do installs, rotate, and balance. Wish they did alignment. Got tires rotated and road force balanced today, plus swapped tpms from old spare to new. All for $25
