    Not done today but getting around to posting about it finally. Allpro Baja bumper with fill plates and stinger on. Install went fairly smooth. Minor trimming needed but nothing major, still have to route blinker into corner light housing (following old mod writeup on here to do it). What do you all think?

    The Truck Shop here in SD sells/deals with them directly, I believe Built Right is right down the road from them too. However I'm pretty sure they are the same as any other name brand bushings and uniballs.

    Any of yall have a favorite flavor of leaf spring shackle bushings? Will the OME ones fit factory springs?

    OME ones will work with OEM springs I believe.

    Although you will have to modify them I found for Alcan leafs.

    Well that answers that. Thanks.

    Who needs a brand new OEM seatbelt that fits a 98-00... :rofl:

    Anyone find one available for an 01-04. Now that I'm digging deeper looks like they're no longer available.

    If it's new webbing you're after, you can send the assembly into seatbeltplanet.com. The retractor mechanism gets really weak with dirty or frayed webbing.

    I just had my driver side rewebbed with new buckles and matching flexible buckle receptacles.

    Was going to do that, but was hoping for a complete brand new unit for $150.

    Guess I'm back to that option.

    They did a great job and I'm happy with how much better the retractor is working and how much more pliable the webbing is.
    That being said, it did cost a bit more than I wanted to pay.

    I pulled my seat belt from a part out - you can still find good condition belts/mechanisms around fwiw

    My son decided he was not a fan of the factory mudflaps, so we pulled them off. Next projects include repainting the sliders and the fender flares.

    Replaced the window belt seals on all four doors. What a difference that made!

    Interesting. The other one got shipped. Looks to be identical except for that plug.

    I'm 3 hours from the nearest dealer otherwise I would call.

    I pulled mine off over 20 years ago. The first time I backed up to turn around in sage country they got bent in and rubbed the tire. I realized the design was not appropriate for where I drive.

    Saying that there are people who love them, and apparently they are hard to find. If you are not going to use them you should put them up for sale. I'm sure someone would love to have them.
