Really???, I figure anytime you can replace plastic on these trucks with aluminum it's a step in the right direction.

I think what they'er saying is that it doesn't really have a benefit to do it. It is pretty cool to have the bling if you want it. On the truck that you're biulding Claus, it would be cool to have it to fit the all aluminum theme. I want the aluminum front axle, it's pretty sweet too!

Thanks Brian, I hate plastic on trucks, I realize there are some things I can't do anything about but I do plan on changing as much as I can.
