    Yeah I'll eventually do a bed rack and mount it on top so I can still slide stuff under when I need to. Its so quick to take it out when I need the bed space though.

    And did your CV tear because of the angle they are at you think? I've been keeping some water proof grease on mine where the "fines" make contact. Not sure if it helps or not lol

    I think the one boot was just clamped closer or something. my driver side has no wear marks. could be from wheeling and only that side spinning at a jacked up angle. I've heard silicone spray for the boots.

    Also the inner OEM boots have far less flex in the rubber material then the outer boot

    Sorry if this has been covered already, they are very, very cool but are the retrofit headlights as effective as the stock headlights?

    Yes I would....without a doubt! I was amazed at how good the lights looked at night! And BTW, those FXRs are not that much better than the D2S or the mini's....:eek:

    So that new bumper. Not so new anymore. A 97 year old man clipped my parked truck. Bent the crap out of my tire swing out, either tweaked the bumper or frame. Tailgates toasted too. Not even two weeks old, waited six months for it. Awesome right ?
