Sure is a strange looking one piece center link
I can’t imagine the level of anxiety when it comes time to start grinding away on the trans case and arm mounts….

Yes, lovely pieces of plastic. So strange. Lol
I have actually traded my RPM center link as I decided to go a different direction on the steering. Yeah, grinding new pieces is always tough, but the end result should be worth it.

I think MD was just noticing that the package labeled for a center link looks a lot more like a nose skid plate.

OH wow! I never even noticed that. I've had that part for at least 3 years and that never caught my eye. It's definitely been repackaged I guess. Luckily, the part looks perfect.

I don’t know man I’m thinking that mini bumper has had that header card since day one…. Not seeing any other staple holes in it. The true tell will be if there’s more holes in the bag

I looked at it closely. The header card and staple appear untampered, but there are staple holes on the plastic bag, behind the header card. It must have been repackaged at some point.

I can't remember where I bought it, but as long as the part is perfect, I am happy. Good eye!
