ECGS is some good guys. They buy like 100+ axles at a time to build them. Pretty interesting picture to see so many laying there.

I've used East Coast before but not using the 8.8. I've been happy with the quality of service I received - prompt replies to emails, work performed well and on time, and their willingness to stand behind their products and service. I don't use anyone else for axle or diff service, for what it's worth.

The weather finally cooperated so I finished the cut and fold on the rear quarters.

But your rear quarter panel is still there... Did you mean the fender cut and fold?

He's right. That whole area is the rear "quarter panel" in traditional automotive terms

Notched my T&T crossmember to give a little more clearance on the exhaust, about 1/2" gap now
