    The cost to protection ratio is probably one of the best things you can get for your vehicle for off road use.

    Honestly I want them in the worst way but I'm kind of leery of trusting some random person's welding especially at the top of that one spindle looks a little funky. I have heard of alignment issues because people overheated the spindle warping them and I have also heard of The metals characteristics being changed for the worse AKA making them brittle so definitely nervous

    If you let the metal cool naturally after welding most likely won't be anymore brittle. It's when you quench it in water when still hot AF may cause an issue.

    OK, I'm stumped here. I'm wiring up an Auxbeam setup in my truck and all is well until I get to hooking up power to the control box. All of the fuses under my hood are always hot, this shouldn't be, should it? I would think the radio, heater, a/c, etc would be switched.

    Found a thread that tells me that Acc pwr is in the other fuse panel under the hood...odd.

    edit: That panel is only relays. WTH?
