    I'm mid install of the MCMfab LT kit, I bought the TC cam tab gussets.. but it looks like I can make the stock ones a lot stronger by just reinforcing them with more welds.. I don't want to take shortcuts but I'm just not seeing the extra 4hrs of drilling cutting and welding being worth it.

    is this a must have part?

    Not in season, but still cool to get out and see some of the forty mile caribou herd.
