    The ditch lights are wired into my spod. They shouldn't touch that. I don't want a bunch of problems after

    For what it's worth, all of my lights came back functioning, and I had a couple of wires running back to the bed cap that ran along the frame. They did a nice enough job of running them back to the correct spots.

    Different. Mine took forever for the frame to come in though and they had zero communication with me for the whole 3 months I was waiting. All's well that ends well, though. I was frustrated during the beginning of the process but ultimately the frame replacement experience restored my faith in T

    Like you said in your earlier post, there are some hack jobs and some really good jobs. While I don't think it's specific to the dealership, the place he went has a good reputation. I think they will take care of OP.

    EDIT: I should add I didn't even get the frame that was ordered for my truck, I got a frame that was sent in for another truck that had failed inspection after mine. They let me jump the line. So, hard to tell whose fault it was. Someone fucked up the order of my frame at some point. Whether it was the dealership or corporate, I'll never know.

    We can make that happen.

    As I start looking at new leaf packs I'm thinking the same thing. ..

    Just need to copy the template and mail it.

    Why do you need bolt access for that area of the frame?

    Aren't there bolts back there? I originally thought there were 2 kits. Solid and cuts for bolt access. I probably won't be doing anything with this for a few months anyways

    I bought a 200 piece kit that had a 1.5mm and 2mm allen socket head. The 1.5mm stripped some of my beadlocks. So I returned it. I want to buy a kit of just 1.5 and 2mm for later. If I keep this expensive crawler

    Just think about how many are getting ordered at this point. The NE states are probably consuming the majority of the orders, with 18 wheeler loads going there. The mid atlantic and midwest probably get the leftovers that the NE doesn't gobble up.
