    Ahh. Are the tabs expensive to replace? Are they replaceable?

    I'm going to have to look up an exploded view of all this so I can get a better understanding.

    The tabs are spot welded in place. The factory tabs are very thin and fold over when the lca takes an impact. You can either do the tabs randy recommends or the dirt designs rings that reinforce the existing tabs. Both have the same result

    I would get the marlin brace kit and call it a day. No need to mess around with the tabs, the brace kit will reinforce the factory stuff.

    I'm not even sure what I am looking at here. I can't tell the difference between the gusset and the LCA. I do like those sox though.

    Even more confusing. Why is your left shoe just sitting there? Are you getting a Pedi while you're doing this?

    VA is cool. I haven't been in years (since scouting).

    I'd only do any of this to need to drive south as an excuse to see #RandyFab.

    Basically Nick, if the mall I am at has nasty potholes I will just go to another mall. I'm more of an "avoid the issues, not cause them" kinda guy.
