Should be ~$300 with the bedliner paint. All the metal was $285. That included having the metal shop cutting everything to my specs.
I wish there was someone who could make a replica sd or Baja rack for cheap , I really want one but I can’t justify spending well over 1k for it considering a ls swap is in the near future
Poked around the front drive shaft again, still getting a slight vibration at hwy speed. Turns out the shaft / yoke zerk fitting was never installed -- removed the allen set screw, installed a zerk and greased it up. I don't think there was any in there grease in it at all Hopefully i havent fubard the shaft!

The zerk should be removed and replaced with the allen screw after greasing the splines. There is a risk, however small, that if left in place the zerk might hit the crossmember if the front axle is articulated to its limit.
Pulled my SAI manifolds for some fresh heat wrap. The black looks great on there. I used this same stuff for the last 50k miles and it's held up fantastic. I bought 4 feet three years ago and I still have enough to do this again in another 50k.

The OEM heat wrap was supposed to keep the temps from the exhaust, but it quickly dissolved into pieces and fell off. I've run SAI trucks for years with nothing on them and zero issues. However Roverguy had a great way of installing new heat wrap onto them.
Most likely, the heat shield is there to reduce heat transfer around the plug wires, or just to keep unsecured plug wires, fluids or a persons fingers from coming in contact with the hot tube.
Hopefully i havent fubard the shaft!
