    Did all my cutting of plastic with a razor knife. Make sure you flex that suspension slowly and get it cut good or those fenders are gonna come off like mine. Possibly get damaged.

    I enjoy pulling into parking spots and having people run over to see if I hit their car because of my fender rub. Then I laugh as they open their door into my sliders.

    You are supposed to have a license to use any of those HAM frequencies or it is a $10,000 fine and so many years in jail if caught. Believe me, they WILL fine you for sure if you were to get caught!!! Jail time, probably not likely, but the possibility is also there!!! I have both CB and HAM (licensed) and find that the CB is WAAAAAAAAAY easier to deal with when out on the trails. There are only 40ch (freq) to choose from and none of this, "what frequency are we gonna be on..." crap!!! If you happen to forget the CB channel, there are 39x more channels to choose from compared to the almost endless freq you can choose from a HAM radio. PLUS, IF you accidentally press some buttons (numbers) on your HAM radio (of course, you should be able to lock the panel as well), that can be a possibel issue if you forgot the freq?! Of course, writing down the freq ahead of time would be something that you would think of doing, but sometimes hindsight is 20/20, right??? Anyways, NOT just because I am a licensed HAM, but just because a CB is definitely much more easier when all said and done. PLUS, you gotta think about it like this as well, a HAM HT (Hand Transceiver) is only gonna get you about as far as a CB!!! The only time you're gonna get any significant distance with a HAM is IF, AND ONLY IF, you get a license so that you can "connect" to a nearby repeater. BUT, here is the caveat, a licensed HAM operator is NOT allowed to legally TX (Transmit) to an unlicensed station!!! PERIOD!!! The HIGH POSSIBILITY of getting your license pulled, again if caught, is very real!!! Which, for me, you better be knocking on deaths door before I start TX'ing to anyone that is NOT HAM licensed!!! So, to sum things up, I don't get why people are moving to HAM when CB is just so much easier in the end??? Plus, it isn't THAT expensive!!! You pay about $100 for a decent CB setup and you're basically DONE for the rest of your vehicles natural life as well as the CB unit that is installed!!! A possible $10,000 fine vs $100 should be taken into very HIGH consideration!!!

    Just my 2cents on the matter!!!

    Sliders are great for lots. I like to park next to people who park over the line so they can't get in their driver door to teach them a lesson. They can't ding my door since I have sliders.

    HAHAHAHA, sorry Danny for the "WALL of Randy", LMAO!!!

    Just also wanted to point out that IF people want to get a HAM then to get a HAM license! WHY? Simply because, think about it like this, when going to a trail meet, you can hop on a 2m repeater for that area and coordinate each others position in REAL TIME!!! None of this BS txting, looking on the forums for any updates, people not familiar with the area and getting lost for HOURS, etc etc etc!!! If each person and/or 99% of the people within a particular group was to have a HAM license, all they would have to do is setup their HAM HT's to some local repeater (even far ones can be connected to... I can EASILY connect to HB RACES repeater from La Puente!!!) and give REAL TIME updates on where someone is and/or assist someone that is possibly lost. THEN, to make things much simpler, switch to CB for shorter distance communications!!! OR, if you want cheap, I don't understand why people just don't go ahead and get those blister packs of the Motorola and/or similar GMRS/FRS radios that you can buy in 2x packs for about $50!!!

    Something to SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT people and I have posted similar many, MANY TIMES before already!!!

    FINALLY, the "weatherman freq is NOT F'N in the 152MHz freq band", F-ME strangled people... QUIT saying THAT shi-!!!

    I need my vit-D RICH, milk, LOL!!! With an Apple Fritter donut would be nice as well!!! Krappy (Krispy) Cream is nothing but a BIG F'N SUGAR BLOCK and is NOT a F'N donut!!! Overrated company for sure!!! My humble opinion of course!!!

    Have a pleasant day people and safe happy wheel'n to all!!! :thumbsup::D:mudding:

    Realistically I'm going to keep my taco for a while so the question being is whether or not to keep it stock for a few years until after college orr slowly upgrade it overtime into a more capable trail rig.
    I'm thinknig sliders, a winch, maybe bigger tires?, a rear lift to match the toytec waiting for installation in my garage, & a locker for sure:D
