I put the wheels on and they looked so awesome. But the wheels had the wrong backspacing and rubbed really bad. Im gettin some bfg at tires on nov. 15th. And im also looking for a set of cheap black steelies to mount them on.
Anyway, here is a couple pictures without the running boards, and a couple of them are taken at the same spot as my avatar picture, or whatever it is, for comparison.

He's in Graham, I'm on Ft Lewis. I gave the wheels/tires to him, had to get rid of them and was deploying so was short on time. I don't know if he's interested in selling them. But you could test them out. These are the pics I posted them with when for sale, They just sit at his house.

Having a job is a good start. Be very very patient with building up. I am lucky enough to have a great girlfriend that keeps me from buying every little thing off of craigslist. Don't want to go broke now

I have a Budbuilt and love it, fantastic quality. I also upgraded that to a dual case plate in anticipation of eventually having dual cases. You can do that too by purchasing directly from Budbuilt if you like. The TG plate is already a dual case plate. Now that I have a 4.7 low gear, I may not ever go to duals so... we shall see. I haven't had an opportunity to see a TG crossmember in person. Many on this board rag on TG quality but I have plenty of TG parts on my truck with no problems whatsoever. One difference I see on the parts is that the TG is a single piece of metal so you may need to remove it for some items of work on your t case. The Budbuilt has a plate that bolts to the crossmember and can be removed for easier access to the t case. On the other hand I have heard of folks with issues of getting that Budbuilt plate unbolted in areas that actually have weather (not a problem for me in AZ) because the bolts get frozen/rusted in place. Check with Wabbit about the TG plate as I'm trying to determine this from a relatively small pic with relatively old eyes and I could have it all wrong. Good luck.

There's alot of rebadging in the feild of truck parts. If you shop around you can find some killer deals. Especially on trailgear they make a fortune on their stuff because of being produced overseas so much so that TG limits the discount that distibutors can give, so some make it up by giving an approved discount and say free shipping. But don't go posting it all over tarnation as the distibutors who don't do such things complain and can cost the guy cutting you some slack his contract with TG. Yes its happened. And don't go complaining to trailgear neither that you can get their products cheaper for this guy neither, cause that's hadn't too.

EDIT: On the Aussie, just make sure you don't get the one for the 6 cyl by accident.
Exactly. You can potentially bend or otherwise booger up the rear of your IFS if you come down hard on it because there is no brace/crossmember like in the front. The brace fixes that. Downey used to make them before they went belly up and that is what I had. It was pretty cheesy compared to the Sonoran Steel piece but I got mine before Steve started making his. That said, it seemed to do it's job. Below is a pic of my front and rear braces, removed during SAS. They are beat to crap but my truck stayed aligned etc.
