Well rebuilt my horrendously squeaky flex joint, then after finding what i lost a while ago i decided to install the GoFerIt drivers side flip insert for the TRE so started by drilling knuckle to 3/4" which sucked but was accomplished:


then tap insert in:


forgot to take pics of being welded in but here is the TRE re-installed with much better clearance:

put a new sticker on and took off the tire carrier cause it spends more time getting scraped and bashed than my gas tank skid or hitch:
