    Looks great dude! Beats paying the $60-80 plus dollars they want for the kit. Looks just as good imo. :cheers:

    loving these gap guards, looks 100% better!

    attempted to tackle to big hole at my cab corner, grinded away some more of the paint to get a good surface to weld too.

    not happening.

    started grinding and the metal just started disappearing. where the rocker goes behind the bedside, its all rotted out. I saved that piece from when I replaced my rocker, cant replace it though unless I pull the bed off and the door.

    hitting it with some por-15 until I can fix it and hope it doesn't rot out completely.

    well replaced my trans support this afternoon. forgot to get pictures of the one I replaced but it doesn't look any different from the last one I replaced.

    the rubber on these parts keeps splitting. looked at the trans to see if it was aligned properly but the trans sits at one spot.

    had the trans jacked up slightly so I could get the mount and crossmember back in place, the crossmember only sits in one spot, no room for movement up or down, let the pressure off the trans and it sat perfectly.

    lets see how long this part lasts.

    called energy suspension to see if they make a part, they do not. guess im going with a ford certified part when this one breaks in 4 months.

    truck is in the shop. my guy is pulling the rear apart on Monday.

    he said there is something for sure wrong at the front of the differential. hes thinking bearings. possibly inner and outer. if everything goes right I should have it back Tuesday.

    I don't know squat about that stuff.
