    I've got that one thing, and that other one thing, oh yeah and that other other one thing.
    Pretty sure it's been asked, but what's the length?

    I ran into the Dirt Every Day guys from Motor Trend out here at the dunes yesterday. They were playing around in a couple of TRD Pro Tundras. They started filming me after a while though. I wish I had 35's and a front LT kit. I just don't have enough front travel to dampen hard landings and my 33's let my diff skid hit the ground at full stuff...

    But I found a sweet spot here and had some pretty smooth landing:)

    The bigger whoops still kick my ass but they were kicking my cousins ass on his dirtbike and he's been riding for almost 20 years now. My rear valving is much better. I'm running a 15 stack with a 20 flutter and I'm using all of my travel through the whoops... so I guess I need to move up to a 20 stack... I'll post some videos later and see if you valving gurus can see what you think.

    For those of you that have trimmed your glass fenders, did you use a pneumatic auto body saw or a cutoff wheel?

    Cut off wheel. Zips right through. Just be sure to cover up or you'll itch for days.

    The body saw will work just as well fyi. Might be easier on the curves or on tighter corners.

    I need to get my hands on one to see where the frames are stretched. What I have might work, but I need to find out first on a dclb

    Are you worried at all about being pulled over for having red/blue lights? Obviously you wont be running the led on the roads but just curious.

    Air body saw is by far the best way to cut glass. Cutoff wheel can totally work but never comes out as good

    ive never had a problem with them, they look at me but i feel like they have better stuff to do than to give someone crap for covers. they wont stay there i have 2 6" bars ill use the covers for on the rear for dust lights since these cut through the dust really good.

    thanks! I was thinking about doing custom tube bumpers but i have a ton of $$$$ into the front and rear from relentless and i thought it would give it something different. Im excited to see how it'll all come together with the tundra rear and thing i have planned for it
