    Oh and I’m going to make some one piece splash guards as well. Gonna hit up Home Depot and scour around for a suitable rubber sheet. I even bought a new set of king stickers for the resi so they would be the right orientation. I want this wheel well looking on point.

    I have to do that too. Pond liner might be the best option. All the other stuff I have seen is THICC. I have some stuff from Amazon that I'm holding off on pulling the trigger on until I can get to HD and check out what they have.

    Pretty pleased with this solution. I needed to get a new dust shield on the inner cv joint but it needed to be tapped in from all sides at once. 2.5” hole saw in a 4x4 and it worked like a charm.

    I honestly do not know what you do for a living Randy, but you have missed your calling..... You should open up your own shop......but then again, that would take you away from the work you do on your own truck lol.

    I appreciate the kind words. Funny enough, I do computer security for the government, so quite the opposite of this hands on stuff.

    My rear is already set up for what I need. Plenty of flex but can also soak up little washboard road type stuff. I don’t plan on hitting any whoops
