    Couldn't help there, but if they need a computer tech-support/systems analyst I can help there since I'm certified by Microsoft.

    Haha yeah.... Frame is getting plated and getting a new skid + skid design (copying Lalos Tundra) and adding a Rigid light bar behind it. From there I will enjoy the truck one more trip out then back to DMZ for a massive makeover. Lets just say I will be selling my entire front kit in jan....

    My truck has seen some dirt this year. Has not been my DD in several. Was busy traveling for work almost 2 years and last year I bought a DD. your truck has come along way last time I saw it at ocotillo.

    question for you long travel guys, how is the on rd ride affected with the long travel? i imagine it would be bit softer of a ride and feel more stable in corners due to extra width.

    i cant say much for ride affect and on road driving but i could imagine it being a bitch to try and park haha. but i can tell you that in the corners the body roll can be pretty damn far.

    ...too much shit to list.
    LT is smooth at speed, but low speed pot holes or speedbumps are bumpy as shit. Also, no swaybars and increased travel = more body roll.

    If you're going for on road comfort, keep the truck stock.

    That guy is an idiot. Just the way shit fell out of his mouth, he deserved to be open palmed right to the face. Tards like that are what make the real desert goers look like assholes to the general population.
