Lose the Plastic trim

I'm all for you making the truck look nice, not my cup of tea, but to each his own. Personally I'd lose those plastic covers in front of the rear wheel wells. They just trap water and moisture behind them and cause rust to form where you can't see it. Although I am up in the Pacific NW so maybe a non-issue down there. My 2 pesos.

I Was Going To Take It Off, But There Would Have Left A Hole Where It Hooks On At, Also It Was Painted White Over White So It Is A Different Shade Of Color, And There Are Bondo Marks To.

Yes It Does Trap Water And Mud, But It Only It 3 Screwas To Take It Off. So I'm Keeping It So It Looks Nicer Then My Bros...

Are you gonna upgrade that housing to the 83/84 level of bracing? I would. Cheap and easy when the axle's not installed.

Do You Meen The Gusset On The Bottom? If So...

It Is An 85 Housing (You Can See It In The Picture Below), And I Am Also Putting A Gusset On The Top Too.

Please tell me you didn't paint the mating surface between the steering arms and the knuckle? This is a friction surface and must be bare metal.
