    Nothing that a couple of CF 18's couldn't fix in a second or two. I do like the smaller trucks though.

    OP, if this was for a 2016 you're ordering I'd say go for it. But for your current truck, I would sit and wait for one to pop up OR buy one aftermarket and paint it.

    When I read this I thought you were buying a 2016 and adding parts to your order.

    One really has to hate the skewp to buy a 2WD OR

    Kinda answered your own question there didn't you?

    I have the scoop, but I could take it or leave it. It doesn't really matter to me one way or the other. I thought the black fender arches looked horrible on the OR, so that steered me to the Sport. That, and the fact that I may never actually "Off Road" it - it's just not my thing, so I didn't need the crawl control, etc. Anybody bitching about sight obstruction or non-functionality is just being a whiner.

    I'm just amazed that some people feel so strongly about it that they bother to speak up and criticize it. Shit, paint it pink if you want - it's not mine... I see all kinds of crap on here that I wouldn't want on my truck, but I don't feel the need to tell people that they are stupid for wanting it. If it makes you happy, then go for it and enjoy your life.

    Yes, everyone is different. I'm actually thinking of having my fender flares done in black line-X since they are fading. I just think they look somewhat more purposeful that way, but, hey, that's just my opinion.

    My '07 is already sold and I'm impatiently waiting on a '16 DCORLBQS. I'm sure those are in the wrong order....

    I grew pretty fond of my old truck, but I live off-road so I had to sell the Sport when I saw the new OR features and new QS color. It's a personal thing for sure...

    The guys that complain about the scoop being non-functional are the same guys that put those huge chrome "steps" on stock height trucks.

    Just fucking forget it.

    It's actually the same hood you have and he's trying to get a skewp also. I suck at life.

    That'd be super titties.

    Unfortunately my county doesn't issue CCW permits unless you're fucking the sheriff. Currently in the court system being hashed out.

    Thanks though, matey. If I could actually get one, I'd have it tomorrow.

    Oddly enough, the next county north of me is no problem - if I had a residence there I could totally get one. The next county north of them, they practically hand them out, and still one county further, the SO pushes them onto people.

    Coincidentally I live at the base of the "green belt," and the further north you go from here the more you essentially live in the middle of a marijuana grow.

    Sonoma County FTW
