lol. before I read the captions, I thought you got that brand new. I was thinking maybe it was some new style. Made to look like it has already been used. Kind of like pre-torn jeans....

There are two things about the Downey truss I'm not so keen about.
That said, its better than nothing at all!
- it doesn't run parallel to the front crossmember, so you can't make a skid plate out of a flat square piece of steel without making some weird twists and bends in it first
- it doesn't appear to be too beefy, less so than the front crossmember and t-case crossmember. I've seen some pictures of one that was bent up like a like a cardboard tube. I think its made for desert racing, where impacts directly against the crossmember are rare. If it bends, then it pulls the two rear LCA horn together and screws up the alignment it was designed to protect
That said, its better than nothing at all!
