    I'm terrified to drive in side winds...From behind I'm sure it looks like I'm drunk. Even with no wind and some ruts in the road I am all over the place.

    haha yeah we thought we were done with LEDs in the taillights but we forgot about the turn signal bulb. So I have two LEDs and a blub in there :rofl:

    So I need those...third brake light, door markers, and perhaps my running corner lights.

    ask em to lower it as low as possible. Marc did that and it helped a lot. Otherwise it'll be on the tall side big time.

    The more I think about it, the more I want a bed rack instead of my shell. But then I remember how much shit I stack in my bed with the shell, and how dry everything stays...lol. Not sure if I can get past that benefit.

    I had a spacer lift, when I first had my Coilovers on though I had them almost at stock height lol rubbed like crazy and honestly your alignment won't effect rubbing unless your shits like way off I don't rub anything after the pinch weld mod.

    Test fitted my spare 33" Duratrac and placed an order for all 4 new tires! They clear better than I thought. Minor rub at the pinch weld but I will fix that. Can't wait to get the new tires on!

    Eh, if it's one of these 2 sizes I'll be happy. The silver one is the most recent one they've done so I'm betting that will be their production model. The red one got it when it was still in the production phase. I'm going to measure right now to see how high an RTT will sit above the cab when closed.

    I had a shell and didn't care for it. I like having a toolbox and it being open. Plus I bought the bolt-together version, so if I need to I can take it apart for storage...

    Yup haha if you have more positive caster it pushes your tire farther forward. Now that mine is pretty much to spec caster wise, I rub again. The tire being pushed forward just a little over spec can go a long way in effecting your turning radius. At least from what I've seen.
    Haha just cut off as much as you can next time. That's what I'm going to do!
