Thumbs up 11secL

So far the Metco is what I'm leaning toward. It's powdercoated, fits the 2001 aluminum driveshaft, and looks purty too!

Thanks,

Nice photo Rob! What about the quickchange rearend?

Chickenears------The Stainless Steel Drive Shaft loop that I posted a pic of, was manufactored by myself. ALOT of time was involved. It was from the category of "Dare to be different" And it's funny to hear the comments from tech inspectors!

On Sal's website, it says that the d/s loop comes in bare metal.

The JDM/Metco loop requires you to drill your truck.

The PSP/JL/Ruslow loops all bolt on to existing frame holes.

PSP and JL's loops are bare-metal (unless they've now added a powder coated option)...

My JL one came powdercoated black, Im pretty sure Sal's does as well. JL had about 20 of them last time I was at his place and they were all PowerCoated Black...

The metco is a nice looking piece. Unfortunately, 1t requires driveshaft and seat removal to install. Probably should pull the carpeting back as well.
