    No, couldn't make it fit, it is in the truck bed on the side of the drawer system. I ran the charging wires through the frame rail and up into the bed. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Very cool, what size tires did you fit on there? And did you have to clearance anything? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    I think it kinda falls under you get what you pay for... the bds is going to be much nicer and used higher quality parts than the RC kit. I don't personally want to go that high, but I am going to put a Baja Kits lift on it. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Wow!! Your truck looks really good!! Who did the rear bumper? Also, I talked with Nitro gears at SEMA and they said they should have a few gears out by this summer. So hopefully that happens! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Oh wow, if you're close enough to the American border, it might be cheaper to send it to a UPS store or FedEx store and just pick it up.

    The cover from front runner helps a lot, but I found 2 factors help even more. Tilting mine down just a little bit helped get rid of the whistle, and adding these rubber isolators: http://www.trail-gear.com/product/4766/led-light-bar-rubber-isolator#.WNvocTNHaEc I put 3 of these on my upper...

    No the factory tires are 255/60 R17 I think, these are quite a bit bigger than stock, I think somewhere around 2.5" bigger overall. Plus they are way more aggressive. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    I am working with Baja kits right now on a lift kit for it with new leafs Springs, and king shocks all the way around and uniball upper control arms. This should add a bit of lift to the vehicle. As far as tires go, I am pretty much maxed out right now without hacking apart the fenders to clear...

    I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado Z71 4x4 CCLWB. I built the storage system in the back to house everything. It is actually surprisingly light at about 110lbs empty.
