Awesome! Good to hear they are still working good. Have you noticed any wear or ovaling in the tubes? Mine are still like the day I welded them on, but you wheel about 100 times more than I do.

Hey don't kid yourself, you'd be surprised at how little wheeling I do. I haven't had my truck off pavement since last November :down: But I've got a lot of trips planned over the next 3 months :)

EDIT: I did do a snow run in January but I don't consider that wheeling... that is just a bunch of skinny pedal abuse which is NOT wheeling in my opinion.

Regarding my rear traction bar I spoke of, ironically the two pictures I just posted above were before the bar. Here is a pic where you can see the rear bar:

I transferred them to my Tacoma rear axle about a year or so ago, and they were ovaling just a bit, but they are holding up really great. I run anti-seize in each pivot. I repacked em with more anti-seize when I transferred them to the Taco axle. I feel the anti-seize stays in the pivot longer than grease.
