OK
Yea some of you told me so!!
What can I say I saw the blue Integy bumpers & body mounts & had to have them!!
They looked so good!!
All it took was one minor crash (landed on the rear bumper from about a 2' high jump & went end over end) & it wasted over $100 of aluminum parts!!!
From the left,
Hard to tell in this pic but the rear body mount ($30) is tweaked & both posts snapped off.
Top center,
Front bumper ($25) Look at the right side the tubes don't line up & the mount is tweaked
Bottom center,
Rear bumper ($25) same as front bumper look at left side, also the bulkhead is stripped out where it pulled the screws out.
Right side,
Front body mount ($30), the part with the post in it is susposed to be straight!!

If your building a shelf queen get the Integy stuff, it looks great, but it's way too soft to actually be used!!![>:]

The only aluminum parts I would consider running to increase my trucks durability are bulkheads and chassis braces, and shocks. The rest is all bling.

Yeah..........you just need to straighten it back out and off you go...........
The worst alloy products ive had are the GPM parts...........very soft.
The only alloy i have and will be putting on my Savage are adjustable top arms and a tank gaurd.
