    I want to take mine snowboarding as well. I've just got the GoPro HD Motorsports Hero. The new ones are bad ass.

    Right on. I was thinking about just getting the cheapest one cause the new one is so damn expensive. Then add the accessories and all that in top, super expensive.

    I'm guessing never, except for when we went to Ocotillo and he stopped in some really deep sand. :laugh:

    Eddie, you should do a manual hub conversion to keep your CVs from spinning when you don't need them. :spy:

    It's a lot of fun driving on the street too. I try to use the 4x4 at least 10 miles when I go out even if I don't need it.

    Warning!!! Remedial question alert!!!

    Was your truck taller with the mid travel or is it taller now with the lt kit? The lt trucks Ive seen do seem squatty.

    It's cool man. Ya know I never measured so I'm not sure. What you are seeing is LT dudes with a combo of lift spindles up front and/or the SUA in the back with shackles like mine.

    Your truck looks sick, no doubt. I just didn't know if it was the glass making it seem shorter. What I'm trying to figure out is if I get an lt kit for the front and want it level with the rear, what leaf springs do I get (excluding sua)?

    depends on the preload of the shocks and the kit you go with. usually you should be good with 3" lift for the rear. monkeyproof on here has the AP LT up front and expos(4") in the back and he is level.
    if you go engage LT thats a whole different story:rolleyes:

    Thanks Kevin. You could always keep the coilovers set at zero as well if you plan on keeping the rear end close to stock. I have no idea on what other leaf pack to get other than a SUA kit of some sort if you want the truck to work correctly. I wouldn't go near LT with a 10 foot pole if it's just the "look" you're going for. But yes it does look sick and it performs pretty bitchin in the desert :D

    If you haven't already take a look at this:

    Thanks Zach, I really liked the music after I saw it used for a Mint 400 video.

    I still watch it from time to time. Super sick. I need to learn how to edit like this.
