    The 3rd Gen All Questions Allowed Thread

    Congrats and welcome! 99-00 are the best years, IMO. Look up taco whip antenna mod. You'll need a standard, non-motorized antenna base and then the antenna of your choice. What front and rear bumpers are those?

    Best rock sliders on a budget?

    I'm also regretting not angling them... But, they work really well in the rocks, both sliding against /over and kicking the rig/rear out. If you play in the rocks at all, have a good strong rear bumper, I use 4XI plate bumper, and add rear hoops to keep your rear quarter panels & taillights minty.

    Amayama Trading Co???

    Yup, I use them quite a bit, great pricing but you have to be careful with shipping - it can be unexpectedly expensive. Sometimes ordering domestic is the better deal due to the shipping fees from either Japan or the UAE. Do your research. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
