    I know 4 wheel parts has them, but also Murdocks carries hi-lifts and parts for rebuilding so they may have them.

    Do you by chance know how long "inquieries" take to get off your credit? Or what you can do to get them removed?

    After googling, it looks like 2 years, but only hurts for the first 12months. So it looks like im not buying shit for another 6 months, since i have 7 inquieries on my credit from back in December when I was looking at vehicles.

    Just so you guys know we are all driving illegally. Any modifications not factory is technically illegal. But no officers enforce it.

    I am actually pretty surprised I have not been pulled over for my tinted tail lights, I have had many cops follow me with no issues.

    It is up to the Officers discretion to write you a ticket. What ever they deem illegal is... or you will get a ticket for something else, since they wasted time pulling you over.

    The problem is, there are so many loop holes and it uses such vague wording, that the Officer can write you a ticket for whatever they feel is "un-safe."

    pretty sure any lift ticket would be droped in court that is why not a lot of cops try and write the ticket for it

    It used to be that it reset with the calendar year and an inquire also use to not hurt. But recently inquires into your credit are red flagged all the time. Problem is if you move even Qwest, Excel, and cable or SAT will do an inquiry to see if you are worth the risk. So you are screwed no matter what anymore.

    Yanman on COTTORA found that and also found elsewhere in the law that completely contradicted that and said you could with the right parts. So who knows. Just don't go flippin cops off and they won't pull you over. :D

    Just don't run a lightly tinted plate cover. I got slapped with a $150 fine for that one.

    But you would still have to go to court and probably have to pay some type of fine. There is a thread on TTORA about this topic.


    YEAH! What Eric said.

    Another thing to consider is how often you plan to off road it and where. If you are going to get on tippy trails like here in Colorado a lower center of gravity is better. Especially with our IFS trucks that tip to one side or another easier. I guess the same might apply on how fast you try to corner your truck. :D

    No matter which way you I am sure it will look good. It's a Taco!

    A few bolts are different.
    After having my decals since about 2007 I have found that they are fading and with the slightest touch the color rubs off.

    Just saying.
