    The passenger side is off. The driver side end link bolts are rusted and stripped out. I think it's the only rust on my truck at least.

    I gotta cut it off or something.

    In either case I'm glad the sway bar was here to land on.

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Just outa curiosity, have you ever had any issues with the bolt heads sticking out? I could see sliding a rock along the bottom and damaging/shearing a bolt maybe, which might make future removal a little rough.

    Will the bumpers be done/shipped with the skids?

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    Last time out to Rausch Creek I sheared off one of the bolts that mounts at the rear of the IFS skid. Got lucky and was able to get it out and replace it, but damage to the bolt heads is just something that I'm getting used to. I've looked into protective washers for the bolt heads but haven't got any yet.

    Still very happy with my skids though!

    I am not really worried about it. If it happens it happens, part of playing the game. I was just curious.

    If your name is not yellow, but you paid your deposit, I don't know who you are. Please send a message with your name or email address so I can connect the dots.
