    Alright guys... Thinking about removing all the stickers from my tailgate, bondoing the few dents that are on it, and bed-linering it with Rustoleum Bedliner to match the back half of my bedsides... It'll be a much cleaner look, I think. and maybe I can save mah steeckerz and put them on my toolbox or something. :D Or if I land a $50 tool box on craigslist, I can put them on the underside of the lid...

    What do you guys think? I would love a cleaner look back there... and I think it would also look nice with my semi-tinted taillights. I would also like to re-locate the license plate and add a cleaner mounting location... I've got a nice led strip sitting in my garage that I've been meaning to install over the plate as well.

    It's a wonder I haven't been pulled over yet. :D Mah tires stick out 10" on each side, I have no front blinkers, and of course the non-lit plate. I LOVE NEW MEXICO! lol

    That's true...

    So does NAPA for $80 :laugh: (Regardless of how crappy there are....)

    But 7.5" diff....... even if I cryo my ring and pinion, the half axle, and with my ARB carrier in there, do you think I would be using that warranty at all? Seems like my pinion would be the weak leak on this set-up.... :notsure:

    Yeah, it would be better off to build a custom center section and have rcv make the shafts for it. But with all that money an sas would be much better and way cooler:cool:

    I did a little of that already but i'm not a huge fan of hacking and pounding since my truck is more daily driver than wheeler. So i just put on a 2" body lift, made sure I did it right, and called it good. No more rub...and I updated my bro/mallcrawler status at the same time!:cool:
