Yes it's in my driveway, I know... But I only have one day off before I am working out of our Maryland DC for a week and had a ton to do. But I got my CBI offroad carrier installed and wheels back on the truck, I consider that a good days work.

Seems like an odd thing to put on an off road vehicle.

Some things are just for the gits and shiggles of it. I've wanted to do it, too.

Scare the dangerous animals away from your campsite... More effective SOS method... Spare compressed air tank...

Especially if you believe as I do that Tread Lightly also applies to unnecessary noise on the trails. I should make a bumper sticker "Warning - I brake for lizards." :safari:

If they hung down a bit farther, you wouldn't need a diff protector, though. And if I had them in Borrego then I could have "persuaded" Nick not to tailgate me. :finger: Then they COULD have a use after all. :drive:
