    Would that interfere with the stock power steering cooler?

    It will, you can either swap to a new cooler (I have a derale on the parts rack that needs to go in when I have the time), or do what I've had for the last couple years and just ziptie it up off the skid, either way the mounting points for the factory one go bye bye when you lop off the crossmember

    I do, thanks @Pittsy

    We also do the lower crossmember delete. I have a different plate design, and then just use a piece of rectangle tube as the crossmember. But you would have to remake your bumper if you go that route. I never listed that setup on the website though.

    Also, @SoonToBeOn39s I've added extra supports to several bumpers that go back to the core support bolts to help prevent the bumper bending like that. It's more for winching because I've seen so many bumpers bent forward from winching. Your bumper is pretty open so might be hard to add, but it does help a lot.

    Is that bumper only held on with the factory bolts? Asking because I’ve built a couple of bumpers for friends using the bolts locations but tied into other locations too.

    Those of you with TE cages or similar, wtf are you guys doing for a backseat? I wanted a third in the middle but wife wants a bench. I can’t imagine the stock seat is going to fit in there anymore…

    also my rear doors, you gotta slam em to get them closed.

    So sick. Might just have to do that in the future. I don’t think I can get one quick enough for him to burn in for me

    I've always been curious since I have an access cab too. Is there even a slight chance of fitting a 3rd seat in the back of our trucks when they're caged?

    I would say no way with the cage I currently have. But with some mods to the Bpillar section of the cage you may be able to squeeze in a third seat in the middle but their feet will be right between the driver and passenger. Getting in and out of that seat would mean climbing over the front seats to get in also. Pretty much a small dudes or dudettes only regardless.

    When I was swapping my 700# coils off my fox shocks yesterday I put a tape on the Shock shaft and it was an inch less the the 7.7". Is that normal?

    TE headliner kit is sick af.

    but my carpet isn’t going back in. Anyone have any suggestions about what can be done here? Either some thick ass coating to go down over the mod podge mess of sound dampener, or maybe some aluminum paneling?
