I had mine welded and the guy tested the housing with 50PSI of air pressure: result was no leakage.

SURLYNKID- Hey, any word on springs? I gotta return mine. I think I need 5-1/2" to work right on a 4" lift. Was going to get 6" but then I have the AOR shackles...

double billing. wow. they only tried to add $25 to my original bill of $1001. i got it all back though.

the new bumper is the same. they need my old one back to look over the failure, make new brackets, and then send me the new brackets.

that is exactly how mine looked. you caught it early and will be fine. have someone TIG it and you'll be fine. they can do it as it sits if you remove the ubolts and pull the brake line away. we just cut off that one clip under the perch and then welded it back. we made sure to get the weld completely up into the sides of the perch where we tied in. mine has been great for over a year now.

Body Damage is Cool
My weld has held for over a year now - no big deal.
No TSB either...

WOW! haven't seen a stock muffler in years! Cool.
