    nah they seem fine. Metal is a gloss black finish, plastic is black. Handles were black originally so no need to paint them.

    Yes, the Amazon ones have a metal handle and plastic bucket. I got a pair a couple years ago when someone posted them. The only time I have seen them in stock.

    You can buy them individually and they come out to roughly the same as the pair on ebay.

    Found it, I'm liking the color alot, my wife suggested taping off around the decals and going over them when I do the wheels. Screenshot_20230520_150911_Chrome.jpg

    I've had the T1A handles installed for maybe a year now I don't really remember when I put them on. I forget they aren't stock ones from time to time. Even had some random A Hole yank on the passenger side handle a few times trying to get in my truck and they held up. Color hast seemed to fade at all

    For the record... Motor mounts are a pain in the ass.

    Thank you @Kwikvette and @essjay for the help.

    Replaced with Ruff Stuff Specialties motor mounts. Was intended to be preventative maint, but found out my driver mount was broken anyway, so glad I did it.

    With your long travel, I don't think regular arms would've been able to get back there at all.

    Ya... Motor mounts would have definately been better before all the UCA gusseting and bypass hoop.

    And definately NOT a one man job.

    But we got er done thanks to you and Chris. Thank you!

    Thx, I'm stoked on it, while I was cleaning up the shop the new filter came too.

    0520231816_HDR.jpg

    It's the perfect size to fit over top the intercooler and clear with the hood down. Think it's for a 7.3 Ford haha. Got the dust sock prefilter thingy too
