    It's a 40", 50" won't fit on a taco haha. There's 2 types, a curved one and a straight one. The curved one is $469 and the straight is $419 I believe. The brackets are $99. The company has a vendor here on TW, and he gives a 10% discount to members. I'm not one of those who spend over a grand on a Rigid light bar. I think that's stupid haha

    Does having your tool box open give you better mpg and horsepower gains?

    Actually, yes. Its basically like drafting. You get a vortex of wind pushing you forward. And it helps to get your cb range out farther if your whips on it. Plus if someone pisses you off you can spear them with it lol. So basically there's no downsides and a bunch of upsides and you're a fool if you don't do it :p

    Dude. I LOVE your color. Cardinal red, right? It's what I had on my 96.
    Much better than radiant red.

    Sure I guess haha. Not a bad color, terrible paint technique. It was a single stage paint, so the clear coat is mixed in with the paint instead of 2 separate coats. Which makes the clear coat really thin, and that's why it's faded and oxidized. Every time is see this color and it looks like mine, or worse
