It's the one that the folks from Teaka Toys had up for grabs... given all the stuff that's in there, it's an awesome deal. Not sure about the hood, but that can always be changed later. I'll PM you the link.



Yeah aware of the DRL module... friend of mine had to put one on his truck, should be easy enough. The concern is more around the lift and exhaust at the moment.

I would think as long as the truck is street legal, it should not be a problem. Knowing that all Federal Inspections are done at Canadian Tire, find the store nearest you, inquire about the Federal Inspection and ask for a checklist. Show the certified Federal Inspector the pictures and see what he has to say. At least then you know and you know that will be the guy who is doing the inspection. Get an answer you DON'T like...try a different Canadian Tire store. Play the game man...play the game.

I had to educate the Inspector as he wanted to put DRL on my Hummer H2. I told him to try and turn on and off the fog lights (that's what he called the DRL). He couldn't. Then it was a simple cut of a wire to the ground so the DRL could not be shut off and it was done.

Already there... the guy couldn't believe that they don't come with airbags. On the bumper front, I can make it look stock with about an hours work. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
