    On your next tire upgrade get some 10 ply side walls. If you run tough trails with rocks its a must. They are bullet proof. I have never had any problems and I put em to work. Some guys run the good years with 6 ply sidewalls and still rip em open.

    Sounds like the notorious 'taco lean' that afflicts 1st gens especially. The weight of the gas tank + driver over time seems to make them settle a bit more on the drivers side. When I got my lift kit from HS they included a 1/4" spacer for the driver's side to help with it, I noticed mine had that lean too before I installed the kit.

    I'm not sure how many bolts are there either though :notsure:

    Sounds like it but it's actually the bed being uneven. There's a 1/4" gap between the bed and the frame rail on the drivers side and about a 3/4" gap on the passenger side. On rough roads there's this metal on metal like banging rattle that's happening and we can't isolate exactly where it's coming from. Our best guess is the bed might be loose somewhere or it's tapping against the frame or something.

    It's super funny. Kind of interesting. It's a mix of people who have built muffing trucks and people driving shitty cars trying to wreck them.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    Hey you are the first person not to call me a moron for linking that thread! Haha

    I had that problem in my second gen and fixed it. Everybody else with a weird clunk hates when I link that thread and I have no clue why...
    Is there anything past the mud pit? It's not a very big park it seems
