Yeah my wife and I never use them, kinda get in the way when you're getting out! I love the bfgs...I had a set years ago on a Dakota and I had no complaints! Not a lot of road noice, good on and off road and are a pretty aggressive a/t which I love!

Yea I got my steps for when we would use it as a family vehicle since everyone else is shorter than me, but we got a Tahoe and don't use my truck for that anymore. I'm looking at either those or the Cooper discover stt

Well I'm shopping for exhaust now! Thinking of doing a 18" magnaflow.. I can't remember but with the stock duals, isn't the one I'm looking for a 3" inlet and a dual 2.25" outlet?

I don't think they sell it with a 2.25" exit, I think you have to get the 2.5"

Just ordered an 18" Magnaflow from Matt at Moes! He's usually fast on shipping, so I hope to get it installed this week!

How come you decided on the 18 over the 14?

I just liked my 18" I had before..A good mixture between the 14 and 22". Not to loud but loud enough to hear it over the added tire noise lol

I really like the 18". A part of me wants more, a part of me wants less.
It's a great combo!

Big thanks to Matt @ Moes for the fast delivery of the 18" magnaflow! I'm going to get it put on tomorrow! My question to you guys is, when I go to put on 5" tips should I cut off the resonators? Would it be louder/too loud?

Got the front and rear badges painted today, little valvspar gloss black looks good! I also sanded the antenna base down smooth and painted it! Looks good now with the Stubby!...don't mind the exhaust tips hanging down, they'll be adjusted once I get my 5" tips installed!
