    image.jpg My crossover tube doesn't work anymore...any ideas for a new one? Should I go right over the sc nose??

    Old crossover went right where the pulley is, I thought about cutting it at both ends of the nose and bending a tube over the nose

    I think the crossover tube I had was only 1.25...pretty small but did the job

    Looks good, but I would put a downward diagonal tube from the farthest corners against your cab, go down and in towards the frame rail. That will help keep those shock mounts from flexing upwards

    Could do a boxed plate brace over anywhere you wanted.

    That way you can make it fit over or around anything you want.

    I keep considering selling the Camburg kit to switch to the LSK kit. If it had been released before I purchased mine I would of definitely gone with theirs.

    Here's one from the race last night, got a few dirt miles on the new kit and feels really good so far! Wish I had made it out earlier to put more then 30ish dirt miles on it! image.jpg

    I have a few mods
    hey I got another question for ya guys, im taking my bedsides off and just gonna run without them until I pay some of my credit off and I can pay for Fiberwerx bedsides. But my question was, I got most of the bolts off and was just wondering since I ran out of time today that the bumper and tailgate need to come off to get the fenders off correct? what about the filler neck? im assuming that just pops right out of where the gas door is?
