    Are you trying to reuse it? Just keep smacking at it, eventually it'll break free. Otherwise, maybe a pickle fork?

    The sad part is I have tried a pickle fork, air hammer and punding the shit out of it. Thinking about chopping it off cause I am not reusing it.

    Thanks buddy it's a 305/70r16 tire with a 16x10. No rubbing at all even while wheeling, surprisingly

    That's how I'll be mounting my drivetrain to the frame, I wanted to tuck everything up a little higher. This allows me to push the Tcase and tranny up 3/4ths of an inch and have a perfectly flat belly skid until the tcase drop.

    Looks like this when done...

    Except I will chop off the old crossmember mounts too.

    Where is the best place to get a trailgear front bumper? I can get dealer cost at 4 wheel parts but for some reason they can only get the bare bumper with no stinger

    I had trouble finding a local dealer for one too so I gave up and ordered something more local. But I think 4WP is right that it comes bare and you order their stinger kit.

    Cheap seat covers that don't look like crap don't really exist unfortunately. Even the good ones don't make much sense because a seat swap to nicer seats is usually cheaper.

    Nice, free shipping is awesome for these heavier parts. TG must get a hell of a FedEx kickback

    lol I think your truck should go on tour along with all the new concept cars - even some of them don't have that much attention to detail :)

    After replacing all 4 speakers, still had an odd popping/cracking sound at higher volume. Yanked the old Head unit and replaced with this. All in all, probably around $160 for a whole new, 100% better sound system - with integrated bluetooth, so no more dumb Aux cable, Bluetooth adapter and ground loop isolator

    I think Jegs just sells at such high volume that they can get a good enough deal with shipping. It's not like the import truck retailers - on a HNL - Hole Notha Level when you sell small block parts :)
