Because the stock ones are so damn ugly I guess. The extra support is nice and all but they're definitely a little inflated

I agree man. Pricey.

Yet they are hot looking and do offer that additional support too.

Wow, you are right, they did go up. I think I paid under $100 for mine new years ago.

They're nice to look at but you'll never really see the diff cover accept when it's up on your lift. I get blingy mods and you're already here with the cover off but the $$ is better spent elsewhere for now IMO.

I'll be getting one of those Cobra MC now that I see how cheap RA has them for! Are those North race car brackets that you scored from the salvage yard? @GroverDill

The brackets are off a 94-98 Axle, I am going to run the 3/4" wider axles and 8" wheels.

I have the North race car brackets on my 93 and they are nice but fairly pricey for what they are.

I had some wheel paint on the shelf so, I gave it a shot. I am not sure I like it. Keep the axle tag yes or no? I think I like it.



Tomorrow the subframes are getting welded in, thanks to my ing awesome neighbor.

+1 stick it back on a cover bolt, gives it that 'stock' look.

I like the paint, looks good in the pic at least.

My axle tag has been looooong gone.

My neighbor is ing awesome, total perfectionist spent half his day doing this and wouldn't accept any type of payment.

I think the welding job he did is better than what I paid a performance shop to do on my 93!



I will prime/paint in just a bit but man I am impressed with how great these turned out.
