    Do you think they are worth $255 a piece for 17x9’s. Once I saw yours I always said these would be the next set of wheels I would own. Don’t want to not buy them and then never be able to get them again.

    Swapped out my front diff pinion seal, now have done both the front and rear in the past few months, both were the ones that came with the Nitro gear set. So, my advice would be to buy OEM ones instead of use the ones that come with the kit.

    So, are you looking at the black line next to the hose? If so, that’s a zip tie holding the air line. I was looking at the center section behind the bushing, and in going under the truck again, it kinda looks like it’s molded that way, but I’m not sure :notsure:

    I don't really know what's going on here but it kind of seems like @thefatkid pulled the old "got your nose" trick and @Wishbone Runner has been looking for his nose ever since.

    Weird how it looks so unfinished and broken looking while the new is a clean casting line.

    Indeed, if I hadn’t found a pic of a new one I would have assumed it was broken too.

    Got the crossmember finished up and put together a quick skid, going to replace both the tranny and t case skids with a one piece skid when I have a bit more time. Also seen is the new exhaust setup.

    I didnt pay that much for the reroute and muffler. I am guessing the shop jipped me and didnt give me the muffler I wanted.
