    "KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. military back in the day. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided."

    So there you have it. My ideology for my build. Really I should say OUR build my family all takes part in this truck! :)

    Good looking Pro. Looking forward to seeing what else you do to it. You'll like the CBI sliders. I got the kickout model. Haven't had the chance to test them yet, but haven't been disappointed yet.
