    I could not even justify buying aluminum bumper on this build so steel for me...these are not .250 BAMF approved but good enough.

    The rig fights me when braking and turning right. Like it doesn't want to turn right if the brakes are applied. Not hard to fight, but weird.

    You can do a utility patents which protects the function of your product or a design patent which protects the design. Design are a bit more tough to enforce due to subtle changes that can be made to differentiate from other patents. Most companies don't advertise their patents as it opens other companies to review and modify their design around the patent. You can look them up easily enough though if you know where to look.

    Nice! I'm hoping that I can finish my wiring today and go test it. I'll probably cry tears of joy if everything actually works.

    I did my rear at the diff, was a PITA, but got it done. Probably would just source it out next time to get rebalanced as well.
