    Freeway was packed last night. Not sure if it was because of the flooded streets or what.

    I did drive down this flooded street, crawled by this metro bus that got stuck.
    Everyone drove around with thier light bar on. Why?
    So I thought it be cool to do the same, and had my spot lights on too lol

    The guy I bought my BAMF sliders from on Craigslist said he didn't like them because of this. He had just bought the truck used and they were already on there. I like them. I can see what he means after living with them for a week, but you adapt.

    I'm somewhat vertically challenged so the sliders are like a step. They help more than they hurt, IMO.

    Depending on what store I'm at. I usually push shopping carts into the sliders,rear bumper, or the tires when I'm walking to the truck lol. People usually give me a weird look

    I haven't yet. My leg brushes them occasionally. I just sort of hop from the seat the the ground and miss them entirely.

    I'm hoping they'll help for shopping cart and door ding damage prevention. I bet you do get some funny looks when you do that with the shopping cart, lol.

    Yea, I'll kinda measure the height of the cart first. Before I actually attempt to act a fool. Or else, you would look like a fool if it hit the truck lol

    I have issue getting in/out over my sliders sometimes but I feel like they're at an awkward height to use as a step.

    At the store the other day some lady absolutely wrecked her door on my slider when the wind caught her door and then slammed it into me. She was so pissed off she was like screaming like I offended her great ancestors. I just drove off once she got the door off the slider.

    Yeah they angle up, they're not flat.

    Roger.

    I ordered mine flat off the frame in hopes that baby could use them as a step

    Plus - I will get more mall crawler status points that way....I think
