    I used a kit from someone on the second gen page using a factory third gen damper works great. Since I have a flatbed now pm me and let’s talk

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    I just want to let you guys know if I ever win the lottery the first thing I'm going to do to celebrate is go and fight a Menards worker. I swear they hire the people with the least amount of customer service skills possible. Just rude as hell and completely unhelpful.

    I hope you win so I can read about it on the news. Actually, can you PM me and let me know which Menard's and when? I'll bring popcorn.

    It seems really hit and miss to me. There are definitely some useless people working at those places. But, once in awhile, you find good help. Most recently, the girls in the paint department in Johnson Creek were quite helpful.

    It's definitely not just your store. It seems like about half of them are run well, and half are run like shit.

    Tell me the time and day, and I'll put it in the calendar. :D

    I have a conversion on my bed. One of the best things I did to it. Requires some cutting down below the bumper area below the taillight. Because I used OEM it was abou$300 to do-Toyota parts! look into it and PM if your interested.

    You either don't use the bed (shades of 4 wheel drive????) or you are a super freak (pants on fire!) One of the best mods I made to the truck. Just say'in.
