    Yeah, that was sort of the idea behind it. Just looks too bulky. Was at least a good project to try out my dimple die set. Haha.

    Think I might use it for inside the bed to aid in organizing junk. Regardless, it’s a neat little basket. Lol.

    Welded up my Total Chaos spindle gussets today. Fitment was decent out of the box but had to tweak it a bit due to the irregularities in the seam on the spindle.

    4.56 gears installed.
    Wheelers Bump stops installed.
    Spindles with gussets installed.

    Been a super busy day but got it all done in time for the Auburn football game. Truck drives so much better with the new gearing. Hardly have to slip the clutch anymore to take off. Definitely take some getting used to.

    (Wish I’d have taken more pictures, but I forgot to hire a camera guy.)

    They don't look as racer red on the truck as they did sitting alone. I really like the contrast! Better than the typical BB black that everyone does :anonymous:

    Yep. I had the same thought. I have too much black paint, thought I’d add some red to the collection. Haha.

    I'm going to start adding some blue accents to mine and contemplating painting my bumper like a dark charcoal, titanium, or anthracite grey to kinda get rid of the black. I mean everyone pretty much runs black.
