So its looking like sliders are a definite for my x-mas/bday present. Still have not decided on SA or 4x Guard.

I may have some left over funds before the next RC trip for a front guard or roof basket to throw the DuraTrac spare up there but we will see how things go. I am excited to get sliders.

On a side note, I am hearing a noise that happens every so often. I don't want to describe it because its hard but I did crawl under and pull/tug on most things that could come loose and no give...so i'll keep playing the guessing game!

EDIT: I plasti-dip'd the plastic piece under the front bumper where the OEM chrome plate goes; it looks much better black with my grill guard
