    Love your build man been following you for a while.

    Did you put a spacer on your driveshaft? I serviced mine a little while back but it's starting to give me that rattle when I'm coasting again.

    Thanks man! Yeah there's a 1" spacer on my driveshaft. It helped a little but not a ton.

    Where did you pick it up from? I have Dakars on mine giving me about 2.5" in the rear. If they sell one that is larger than 1" would you recommend it in my case?

    While poking around other builds, I came across CBI off-road. I knew of this site but just saw this.
    It's the "habitat" version.

    Yes the prisnu habitat came out like a week after I built my rack. And it’s like twice the price. Does look good though!

    So you're pretty happy with the URD short-throw eh?
    Does their current component still have the reverse issue? I've read it makes getting into reverse just a little more difficult.
    Did you keep the standard knob or change to something heavier?

    I want a steel bumper so bad, but I also have a 1 inch bl on my truck and I don't want to end with a 1 inch gap in the front bumper. I thought that you did something special to avoid this.
