never been a fan of the tonneaus they just hinder the bed of the truck so much, i used to hate the caps but if i can find the right one for dirt cheap ill put it on the truck cause the sleek ones ive seen on lowered daks and it looks S hot

i looked at the photo you posted of your rear diff, and it looks like you have the mounting points for them on the axle but no sway bar. weird.

i was thinking that. but like i said the mounts are there i could always upgrade it and put one on there. people take off the front one for more flex but why the back, so you can get the back tire off the ground? lol
