I didn't end up having time to get it welded up. We managed to get 15" of snow dumped on us friday night so i had to do some clean up saturday morning. That only left me time in the shop to replace the LF caliper i had been neglecting and install some longer chevrolet brake hose in the front. I am going to prep everything and weld it up this weekend. My swap kit will be here today as well.

Im gonna have to add about 10 hp to the truck just for this thing!. This cover weighs about as much as my entire d35. Lol. Not really, but it does weigh like 25-30 lb I bet. Shes SOLID.

What is everyones opinion of u bolt eliminators? Ive never used em before, but they seem simple enough to make. How do they hold up on the trail/road?
