    is your rear long travel? if not, why not just remove the flares?... taking off the bedsides kinda sucks, some lots by the taillights too, also you do have to remove the gas door thing for the filler neck

    no rear long travel then you don't need rear glass IMO, streets in Florida may be pretty brutal though, so who knows lol take the flairs off and cut them up like what Anthony said ^^, there's a 2nd gen white double cab on here with LT rear and cut stock bedsides and looks bad ass, and saves $$$$. Start hacking them :sawzall:, then if you have to have glass then buy them lol

    My truck is midtravel right now, but once the truck is paid off, LT will be going on. I'm not just going to take the flares off, I want to widen the body lines, big reason why I want the glass...also...when I get the LT I'll already have the glass.

    ThanK you, lol

    Not with my shift work schedule. I mean...I might be able to...but I have a puppy to take care of. So I'm not goin to be gone all day everyday. Plus, why does it even matter what I spend my money on? Not like you earned it for me. It's called managing finances, if I didn't care how much I spent nor was I careful what I bought with what...I would habe bought LT front and rear, rack with lights, 3rd member and accumulated $15,000 of debt...but I didnt...because that's stupid. So I buy some things, pay them off, buy more and repeat. I never spend outside my means, I don't know why you guys are so bent over backwards about it

    that's fair.


    But none of that detracts from the point that removing your stock besides is..well..pointless and asking for a ticket.

    But it is your money and im sure the state of Florida will gladly take your money and put it to good use else where.

    Why not just wait to take the bedsides off until you have the fiberglass in hand? Taking bedsides off takes less than hour each side.

    Rocks are the least scary obstacle out there once you get used to them. They're completely calculated and static. You practically can't get stuck on them, getting unstuck is just a matter of stacking rocks and the rare application of a hi lift.

    I love rocks.

    I hate mud. Mud is the "x" factor. You just have to put the pedal down and you either make it or you don't.

    Mud sucks. I hate it so much.

    Love Rocks though. Super fun. Plus there is nothing like hitting semi smooth dirt roads just after spending 2-5 hours in super rocky stuff. BRAP! :burnrubber:

    Who cares if they rub for now? It's not going to ruin your tires or fenders unless you start hitting things at high speed. Might have thought about this before you bought 315 tires. Leave the bedsides. Save up and get front and rear glass at the same time. Be patient. Your truck already looks decent. You will look lame with glass just on the back! And lamer with no bed panels.....!

    I do, I want to offroading again, that's why I was wanting to just take them off while I wait to get the rears, i knew they were going to rub. Not like I just bought bigger tires and expected nothing to rub. I was surprised when my front barely rubbed. I should wait though, just been damn near 6 months already since the last time I did any wheeling. I need to find out if I can't get any other cheaper shipping options

    I should add that I already have my duraflex fronts on, another reason I was wanting to take the bedsides off
