    Yeah. That front driver side plug is a pain in the butt. It took me about 15 minutes as well just to disconnect the harness. Hate doing the plugs on the driver side.

    If you do, let me know how it goes. I'm just trying to sell them now. Maybe they'll fit better on someone elses rig. Although, I remenber seeing a install video for, i think, ford trucks and you had to remove a little piece of plastic/foam from the top/back corner to give them enough room. Maybe I'll take a look up in there tomorrow.

    Mine squeal on the drivers side when cold, but even worse when wet. I figured it was because I didn't leave the closed for 24 hours after install.

    I hit 15,000 miles today..in six months of ownership, two of which were in storage. That should slow down a lot over the next few months.

    This truck has been everything I hoped for when I bought it. I had high expectations of solid performance that I could rely on, and it has given me that.

    Recently completed sound insulating doors and back wall. Definitely a time consuming process, but made a big difference. Also added a TRD grille decal, can definitely notice the 10 hp it added!

    Ya no one uses cb radios here anymore, I picked up the radio a week or so ago, and got a wide band Antenna. I can hear people on the trails from my driveway lol

    I believe you have to have a license to use them.

    In Canada you need a lisence to transmit not receive. However that's not a problem because I've got one.

    Same here in Texas you can listen with either a scanner or radio but with a radio you can't key up. But the wierd thing is I work for a city and we use uhf/vhf and non of our guys have licenses so I'm not sure how that works.

    Most city/companies will buy the license to a channel or two, it's easier then sending all your guys through the course

    It's not very expensive to have the rights to a few channels. I gotta figure out what channels are programmed on mine I think I'm picking up things I shouldn't be :spy:

    Did the same thing today. Rotated my tires and had my rear leafs serviced by Deaver a few weeks ago. I brought the truck to a local shop on Thursday before work. I asked for max caster and this is what they gave me:



    I was in a rush to get to work so had to take the truck as is. Finally brought i back to the shop today and the same tech was able to get me the specs I was looking for:

    That's a lot of caster! Drives a straight line like it's on train tracks?
