    Got an issue with how dirty my offset makes my truck... It takes me about 30 seconds to have it filthy as a bastard after washing the truck, especially in Canadian winter with road salt and such. Think glass fenders will help my issue? Do glass fenders help this? Any way to fit a snorkel with glass? First world problems.

    Wouldn't a proper offset solve the issue easier and cheaper than glass fenders?

    ??? But, I wouldn't count on glass helping.

    My factory T4R is ALWAYS muddy. I just wash it once or week or so...

    It's OEM size tires do not extend past the body but, it still puts mud on its sides daily as it I drive it.

    Clean here but, in its normal environment.

    Maybe some Bushwhacker flares? They are somewhat wider then the stock ones.

    Yes definitely. I have spacers on there, but im wondering if glass fixes this issue? Because I plan on doing a +2 kit which gives offset, so I will have the issue in the future along with needing glass or lots of cutting. Not sure if that makes sense. With the cutting I will still have DTS (dirty truck syndrome)...

    The Gun laws aren't too bad once you're used to them. Bullet buttons don't make alot of sense just because you can swap them in 5 min. 10 round magazine limits aren't that bad either once you're used to them. 10 Day waiting periods and background checks are a good thing IMO. My Nevada friends all hate it too but I haven't had anything different so I'm used to it. And only the coastal regions voted for Obama. Most of the inner part is comprised of all red districts.

    With that said it is just about 100000000000000000000000000000000% better than living in Baghdad.

    warmer, everything is less expensive, ocean, no snow, guns, weed (for some, not me) vs Canada. Where we don't get hurricanes... I don't see the reason to not live there
