i believe MTG has or had these also, you may want to sift through his build thread to verify...

The building of Knuckles is one awesome thread. I have gone through it before but I must have missed those. I'll go through it again tonight. Thanks

These diff covers were the whole Reason I had to redo my front trac bar ! I had a frame side trac bar drop bracket and it interfered. I had to remove it and did the synergy axle trac bar relocate and there trac bar

I'm thinking it will clear once I get the raised trackbar mounts that come with the bolt on coilover kits installed. I've been looking at the Clayton and currie trac bars.

Damn that came out nice :thumb:

Thanks. It was a real pain in the butt! I was about to strip it all down again until I decided to mask it off and use the Rustoleum bed liner. The black caliper paint must have some chemical in it that eats up the silver spray paint. No matter how long it dried the black would mix with the silver and look like crap.

Over the weekend my HID kit started acting up. One of the ballasts actually started smoking so I pulled out the whole kit. I'm back to stock halogens for now. Looks like next pay period I'm getting some Truck Lite or KC. I know some say that the KC are rebranded Truck Lites but I've heard from others that they are slightly brighter and don't have the "X" pattern.

This morning I called Northridge 4x4 and placed my order for the Dynatrac Pro Steer ball joints. I'm glad I was able to take advantage of the sale through Northridge as well as the $100 rebate. Northridge actually sold out of their stock over the weekend so my set is being drop shipped from Dynatrac. I don't have any play in my factory ball joints yet so I'll probably wait until I have upgraded axle shafts to install at the same time.

That sucks about your lights. The KC lights are actually rebranded Peterson lights. Good score on the ball joints!

I received the Dynatrac ProSteer ball joints today. These things are definitely the coolest looking ball joints I've seen.

This weekend I plan on ordering the KC led headlights. I was gonna go with the Truck Lites but a buddy of mine is getting me an awesome price on them. They will be less than the Northridge sale price 😁

I ordered the KC LED headlights yesterday at 9am and received them today! So far I am really impressed.

He does have these covers. I think he had the enforcer kit installed first though. (Too lazy to search his whole thread maybe he'll chime in)

I tried using a buddies Clayton track bar and there was no way that was going to work. The Clayton track bar hit the factory diff cover without even flexing. I guess I'll just have to wait until the bolt on coilovers get installed all around to put the diff covers on.

Evo mud flaps came in too but I'll post a picture once they are installed.
I got a factory bumper that was already trimmed from a buddy and I added Rigid Duallys to it

The passenger side came unglued so I used my plastic welder to fix it

I will be doing an aluminum 1/4 pounder bumper in the future so this won't be for long
