Back to the original topic. I lost my air dam last winter out wheelin'. Personally I think it looks better with it gone, and I have yet to see any cooling issues.

When you're out playing with your truck things are going to break from time to time. It's just the price you pay for having fun. You gotta pay to play

I consider my 4wd a grenade resistant LSD (compared to stock chrysler LSD). I'll take it on light trails, and will take the scratches that go with it, but have found myself backing out of a situation or two cuz of logs or rocks and such.

I bought my SC yota for 4 grand. Ive spent 8 grand fixing it.
My fourwheeler cost 5,200. Ive bored it out twice, replaced bearings and ball joints twice, new rim, new plastic, and new handlebars among other stuff...

motive: it costs alot to have fun

I bought my 2wd to drive on the road and tow my 20ft car trailer. I don't go offroad or need a 4x4.
Just the way I roll

Get a beater.
I had a '95 Suburban that I bought for $750.00, It had 285,000 miles on it but ran good. I cranked up the torsion bars, put some cheap Cooper SST's on it and went wheeling.
