shaved doors are nice on a non daily though.. notice everyone who has said it has said on there daily.. i love my shaved doors. BUT i also park in the garage and leave a window down just in case something does happen i can get in.. once im out i dont worry with it but i also dont drive the truck but maybe 4 times a month if that often..

dont get me wrong i love shaved doors, on a show truck they are very sexy Was at the gas station today and saw a toyota with shaved handles, bout all that was done to it, it was 92 out so they had windows up and ac on.. sucked when they shut the door with the keys in it.. even left the cash for the gas in it.. she started to get pissed saying i wish he never took the handles away. he is leaving work erarly to come open this damn door!!! lol I couldnt help but to laugh as I have been there myself a few times..

yeah... i have a honda fuel/trunk release lever mounted that works great for pulling the trunk cables i installed to work my door lock mechanisms... i've shaved on a daily... and i have hood release cables installed under the hood if anything fails. pop the hood get in the truck... oh... did i forget to mention my hood opens by key so i dont have to get in my cab to pop the hood... nor would i need to pop the hood to disconnect my battery if i had solenoids that started smoking... nice thing about having a battery disconnect switch that is also activated by a key...

oh... and little kids scream in joy when i point out that my truck doesnt have handles when i'm delivering their pizza... i have kids freak out about the truck period... then point out the shaved handles and they go nuts again... always makes me smile...

I regret the roadster mod sometimes. I love driving it, but I can't take it to work or the grocery store. It is mainly a cruiser now. That is why I wound up buying a second truck. My orange truck I take everywhere and don't worry about parking it. Air bags are cool though. I actually think they make it easier to drive a modded truck. I got used to going in driveways at an angle and slowing down for dips and RR tracks. With my bagged vehicles, I just roll at a comfortable cruising height.

Yeah, but I wanna ride like Mikey rides lol. Blown out bags, lines, etc. is what worries me. Idk which I will do yet. Get it riding smooth as low as I want it to be, (which isn't really Mikey's level), and then maybe see? Front rides pretty good now, except I rub my tires...which need to be smaller still prob, (195/55/16'). For the rear I've bought c-notches, just not installed them yet, and I've got air shocks. I have considered trying to do a full coilover suspension, wouldn't be too hard up front I don't think, and then hopefully she'll handle like she's on rails. Really i'm only wanting probably another inch down up front. (Bj's flipped, bump stop brackets gone, shorter shocks already done.)
