All said and done it might be. Iduno, it would be the icing on the cake, so to speak. Once in awhile they would pop up on craigs list or ebay, but I haven't been interested in one for quite awhile. They sold out and seemed like they quit making them for awhile. In fact, I didn't know they were offering them once again. Still no totally sure they are....didn't get the discontinued or sold out print on their site, so they might be.

500 is a great score for the bumper/skid set up. Noticable build quality, - I like when that quality shows lol. I just invested every bit of that into LT's and Borla set up, wasn't planned, exhaust caved all at once....domino affect lol. At least your investment shows.

Looks perfect on your truck.

My axles finally came in and I was able to get my rearend put back together. They are alloy USA 1541h axles, new 4.10 gears, trac-loc install, all new bearings, cleaned up and painted housing, amsoil severe gear oil, new brake lines and brakes. Hopefully I'll be able to get it back in the truck this weekend.

Nice choice, - Right behind yuh, repaired the front, now for the rear, - complete. Undecided about gearing, there's still time. Nice choice on oil as well.

thanks. i had to make the hard line because the factory lines were a crimped rubber/hardline and couldn't be reused. I just went to AutoZone and found the right sized hard lines and bent them. As far as gear oil goes i use amsoil in all my vehicles, worth every penny.

Hard-lined mine as well. Same thing, purchased a roll at AZ. You have Amsoil in the trans yet ? Night and day with temps, no need for big cooler towing.

not yet, but it will. After I get the diff back in, the motor and trans is coming out because I spun a bearing. I have a low mile 5.4 to go back in and I'm going to go through the transmission while it's out.
